Block Task

• The executor blocks the task. 

The executor can block the task while working on it in the DOING stage. Blocking involves creating a blocking task, which means making an incoming dependency for the task (on the INBOX screen). 

The blocked task is returned to the AWAITING stage (the task has incoming dependencies, and its execution will start only after the completion of the predecessor task). 

The system does not reassign the blocked task to another executor. 

The blocking task remains in the READY TO DO stage (waiting for assignment to an executor or with an assigned executor, waiting for them to start working on it). 

The blocked and blocking tasks are displayed to the executor on their INBOX workspace under the BLOCKED tab. 

• The reviewer blocks the task 

The reviewer can block the task during the QMP stage. Blocking refers to creating a blocking task, which means making an incoming dependency for the task (on the INBOX screen). 

The blocked task is returned to the AWAITING stage (the task has incoming dependencies, and its execution will only start once the work on the predecessor task is completed). 

The system does not reassign the blocked task to another performer. 

The blocking task remains in the READY TO DO stage (waiting for assignment to a performer or with an assigned performer waiting for them to start working). 

The blocked and blocking tasks are displayed to the performer on his INBOX screen under the BLOCKED tabs.
