What happens if a dashboard required for a task flow step is missing?

When a dashboard required for a task flow step is missing, the correct understanding is that the optional action can be suppressed. In task flows, each step often relies on specific dashboards to provide the necessary context or data for the user to complete their actions. If one of those dashboards is absent, the system can suppress the action associated with that step, thereby preventing the user from proceeding without the required information.

This feature is particularly useful in ensuring that users do not proceed with tasks that lack the necessary inputs or visual data, which could lead to incomplete or erroneous actions. It allows for a controlled processing flow, maintaining the integrity and accuracy of the task execution.

In contrast, the other options do not accurately capture the functionality provided in this scenario. The task flow does not become invalid simply due to a missing dashboard, as other steps might still be valid. Furthermore, a user would typically not be able to bypass a missing dashboard and continue with the task because that could lead to incomplete work. Lastly, while automation and generation of dashboards might exist in some contexts, a missing dashboard in this situation does not imply that it will be automatically created for that specific task flow step.
