Understand onboarding task dependencies

Quick answer

• Some onboarding tasks are blocked until another task is completed first.
• Open the blocked task to see which tasks must be completed first and who is responsible.
• You cannot complete the task until all dependencies are resolved.

Some onboarding tasks cannot be started until other tasks are finished first — for example, configuring your laptop depends on your Active Directory account being set up. Tasks with unmet dependencies are visible but locked until the prerequisites are done.

1. Identify a blocked task

   In your task list, a task with unresolved dependencies clearly shows it cannot be progressed yet.

2. Open the blocked task

   Click on the task to open its detail view.

3. Review the dependencies

   The detail view shows:

   • The list of dependency tasks that must be completed first
   • The current status of each dependency
   • Who each dependency is assigned to
   • The target completion date for each dependency

4. Wait for dependencies to clear

   You cannot complete the blocked task until all listed dependency tasks are finished. If a task is overdue, contact the person responsible for the dependency to follow up.
