Do not reassign back to coverer if I am assigning to myself

N.A

This option is useful if you are out of office but want to assign the issue to yourself.
Before this option, the issue will be automatically reassigned to the coverer if there is a matching Out-of-Office rule. 
If the assignment was triggered by the selected assignee, Out of Office Assistant will skip the processing.

Allow the coverer to reassign back to me when I am Out-of-Office

N.A

This option is useful if the coverer is unable to handle the reassigned issue or the priority is not so high.
With this option enabled, the coverer will be able to reassign back to the original assignee without waiting for him to come back.
If the issue was assigned to the coverer before the out of office period, this normal processing will still be applied even this option is enabled.
