Task record

Task dependencies can be created by opening a task, navigating to the Dependencies tab, selecting the predecessor task, choosing a dependency relationship type, and saving to display the connection on the Gantt chart.

To create a dependency in a task record, perform the following steps:

  1. Open the task that depends on another task by clicking the Edit task Edit task button in the task table or by double-clicking the task bar in the Gantt chart.
  2. Go to the Dependencies tab.
  3. Click the Find Tasks button, select the task that this task depends on, and click OK.
  4. Select a relationship in the Dependency Relationship dropdown menu.
  5. Click Save & Close to return to the project.
  6. Notice that a dependency line is displayed on the Gantt chart from the task that has the dependency to the task on which it is dependent (known as the predecessor.)
Example:
  • Dependency example: Task B cannot start until Task A finishes.
  • Dependency relationship: Finish-to-Start (fs)
  • What to do: Open Task B and go to the Dependencies tab. Click Find Tasks, select Task A, and click OK. For the Dependency Relationship, select Finish-to-Start. Click Save & Close.
