Creating a Dependency on the Gantt Chart
You can create dependencies from both the table and timeline portions of the Gantt chart.
Note
Tasks with deferred or cancelled status can't be a part of a dependency. Completed tasks can only be added as predecessors.
-
Locate a task in the table and double-click the Predecessors column. If you don't see the column, click the gear icon in the table's upper left-hand corner and check the box next to Predecessors.
-
Find the task that should precede the task from Step 1.
-
In the task from Step 1, enter the row number from Step 2's task followed by:
-
FS – to create a Finish to Start dependency
-
SS – to create a Start to Start dependency
-
FF – to create a Finish to Finish dependency
-
SF – to create a Start to Finish dependency
-
-
Press Enter on your keyboard.
Note
If you only enter a number, then a Finish to Start dependency is created by default.
-
Hover over a taskbar.
-
Click the dot that appears to the left or right of the taskbar.
-
Drag your mouse to the beginning or end of the task you want to create a dependency with.
-
Release the mouse button to create the dependency.
