1. I know that is possible to redirect a task to another person... but, is there a way to redirect that task to an especific person? What I need to do is that when a person doesn't complete the task, the task should be redirected to the direct boss of the person that the task was send first. Then if the task remains undone by the direct boss, it redirects again to the boss of the new person in charge of that task.
2, Is there a way to create a dashboard to view all the escalated task of a user from all his/her workflows? To be able to see what users have an escalated task from an especific workflow. And to check if it's the first or the second escalation.
Do you know if there's a simple way to do this?
Thanks in advance.
Regards!

Follow below steps to achieve point 1:
If User Manager is configured Manger in AD properly:
Create a Data Field “CurrentDestinationUserManager” of type string.
Before client event add DataEvent and assignee “ActivityInstanceDestUserManager” to it.
Escalation Wizard Step:
For “Escalate On” or “Escalate After” template, select “Time to be repeated “option
Enter number of time you want escalation to execute.
Select Action template as redirect
In Redirect Action for name drag and drop DataField “CurrentDestinationUserManager”
OR
Get user Manager from custom DB using SmartObject.
Create a Data Field “CurrentDestinationUser” of type string.
Before client event add DataEvent and assignee “ActivityInstanceDestUserFQN” to it.
Escalation Wizard Step:
In “Escalate On” or “Escalate After” template select “Time to be repeated “option
Enter number of time you want escalation to execute.
In Escalation wizard select Action template as redirect
In Redirect Action, call a smart object method to get destination user manager (i.e. boss username). Here you are required to manage list of employee and their boss in custom DB. And need to fetch boss by employee username
For point 2:
Under Workflow Reports use "Activity Instance Destination” Smart object and filter result based on "Process Instance ID” and "Activity Name".

Sorry to bother you but I can't find a way to do the steps that you told me to do. (I'm using K2 Web designer)
Is it too much to ask for a visual example for the first case?
Also, when you say in the second case "Under Workflow Reports use "Activity Instance Destination"", where should I do that? Here's the current options that I have available in the K2 Web designer:
