Editing Task Dependencies on the Gantt Chart
You can edit task dependencies from the table portion of Gantt chart.
-
Locate the task that you want to edit the dependency for in the table portion of the Gantt chart.
-
Double-click the Predecessors column in a task's row. If you don't see it, click the gear icon 1 in the table's upper left-hand corner and check the box next to Predecessors 2.
-
Replace the text in the column with the row number of the task that should be the predecessor task or change the type of dependency by replacing the letters that follow the row number:
-
FS – to create a finish to start dependency ( finish to start: task B can't start before task A is finished)
-
SS – to create a start to start dependency (start to start: task B can't start before task A starts)
-
FF – to create a finish to finish dependency (finish to finish: task B can't finish before task A is finished)
-
SF – to create a start to finish dependency (start to finish: task A can't finish before Task B starts)
-
Note
If you only enter a number then a finish to start dependency is created by default.
