### Viewing pending and unassigned actions

In either the **Pending** or **Unassigned** tab, select the corresponding Action. The Action is opened in the right-hand section. If the Action is opened by the user to whom it's assigned, it's editable and can be completed. If a different user opens it, it's read-only.

* The average time it takes to complete an Action.
* How a specific user handles its Actions, in a specified time.
* How users handle their actions, based on the Action Catalog to which they belong.
