If, when taking over the job, a work step arises that has not been taken into account in the process so far, you add it.

## Prerequisites [#prerequisites]

The insertion point must lie within your area of responsibility (lane).

## Context [#context]

You should always provide detailed reasons for the additional work step as a message in the job log.

The additional work step is inserted before the next work step in the job's checklist. Your profile photo is displayed.

## How to proceed [#how-to-proceed]

1. To add an additional work step, select **Add Step** in the **submenu** on the right.

   The **Add Step** dialog appears. A note indicates the insertion position.
2. In the **Add Step** dialog, enter a name for the work step that is as meaningful as possible.
3. If you do not want to carry out the work step immediately, deactivate the **Start Step** checkbox.
4. Click **Add**.

   The additional work step is added at the specified insertion point.
5. At the bottom of the job log, enter the justification for the additional work step as a message.
