MB-920 Practice Question: Describe the core capabilities of the finance and operations apps
A company uses Dynamics 365 Human Resources. The HR manager wants to automate the process of sending onboarding tasks to new hires. Which feature should be used?
⚠ Common exam trap
Test-takers frequently confuse Workflow (used for approvals) with Checklists (used for task automation), because both involve process automation, but Workflow does not directly assign onboarding tasks to new hires.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Checklists
Checklists in Dynamics 365 Human Resources allow HR managers to define a series of onboarding tasks (e.g., IT setup, benefits enrollment) that are automatically assigned to new hires upon hire date or status change. This feature directly supports automating the onboarding process without requiring custom development.
