Shows the number of sessions that are waiting on locks held by others.
Blocking in SQL Server occurs when a session that was performing some task is unable to progress because it must wait on a resource that is currently being used by another session. The resource that is being waited on can be either a physical structure like a lock on a table or an internal SQL Server resource such as a latch.
The SQL Activity drilldown | Blocking page shows details about the current blocks.
