Yes. That is correct. The use of the word task in the lists illustrate the example that each line item is a task. The fact that you quote Tony and me, and now say that you were replying to another email has no relevance. The examples that use the word the "task" show that each line item is a task and may correctly be called a task. Your comment that the use of the word, task "seems like filler in the text of the list itself" is likewise, irrelevant, as that is not the topic of discussion.

Tasks.
Task 1 - Modify your email signature to include <department>
Task 2 - Set up access to ADP
Task 3 - Ensure familiarity with using Outlook web access
Task 4 - Review badge rules
Task 5 - blah, blah, blah.

Tony, those are example line items for onboarding. What do you call the
line items for onboarding?

I think "tasks" is the most appropriate and I have seen it used. As I
said in my previous post, there may be a term more consistent with the
onboarding model being used that is more appropriate.

How about:

Yet, in an email discussion, it illustrates the point that the line
items, the category of which needs a name, are tasks. I am certain that
Mr. Posada does not need assistance with the nomenclature for his line
items.
