Task Dependencies

Sometimes certain tasks will have pre-requisites before they can be completed. These are referred to as Dependencies.

A task that is particularly complex, or requires a certain setting enabled in order to be completed, will have a yellow banner above it to highlight any tasks that must be completed beforehand. This will only be shown when Reviewing the task in more detail. Here's an example:




An example of an outstanding task with a dependency flag

In this example, the task to Manage Updates for Android Devices requires the enabling of Advanced Device Management Features. Automations that are ran whenever there is an active dependency will not complete correctly and may impact your overall compliance with a standard.

In order to complete the dependency, select Review on the above banner. This will bring you to that specific task page. From here you can either choose to complete the task manually, or by using the Fix this for me feature. Either option will mark the dependency as complete, allowing you to complete the associated task in the correct manner.
