Hello,

I'm getting a bit confused about these 2 settings and how to use them together.

My use case :

I add a pending worker on June 1st, with a hiring date on June 15th.

The Onboarding Checklist I have is set to :

• Allocation = When record is effective
• Days for initiation = -10

So this checklist will be active for the pending worker on June 5th, so he can start the pre-onboarding tasks.

For this checklist, let's say I have 2 tasks :

• Read company booklets ==> Delay duration set to 0, so he can do this task from June 5th.
