## About Infobar Dependencies

The **Dependencies** section displays a list of task dependencies present in a given box and groups them based on their respective [dependency type](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/DLP/pages/297047158), reflecting the settings configured on the [dependency configuration](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/DLP/pages/298126901) page. You can collapse and expand each dependency group.

The Dependencies tab lists dependencies between two tasks, where:

- Both tasks are in the scope of the current box.
- One task is in the scope of the current box, and the other one is in the scope of another box (for example, a cross-project dependency). Such a dependency is indicated with a crossed-eye icon.

## Search for tasks

The **search bar** allows you to find a specific task (or tasks) whose dependencies you want to inspect. 

You can narrow down the search results to show only those dependencies of the selected tasks that have the [ASAP mode](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/DLP/pages/298127906) enabled or disabled.

## Focus on task

Use the **Focus** feature to focus the Gantt timeline on the source or a target task of a selected dependency. The app will adjust the timeline and highlight the source or a target task.

Only the tasks that belong to the scope of the current box can be focused.

## Out-of-view dependencies 

Out-of-view dependencies cannot be displayed on the Gant chart but are included on the dependency list if one of the dependent tasks is in the scope of the current box.
