    Description

    The Task Dependency Editor is used to create, edit, and delete task dependencies. For convenience, tasks can also be inserted, deleted or edited.

    The tasks are ordered in accordance with Work Breakdown Structure.

    The symbols for summary tasks, tasks and milestones is shown below:

    As the Task and Milestone are sub items to the Summary task, they are indented. Also note that the WBS code is displayed along with the name.

    In the following figure a Finish-Start dependency has been inserted to make Milestone depend on Task.


    As shown below, an item consists of three different selection areas:

    Item area Select the item for editing
    Start area Used for creating Finish-Start and Start-Start dependencies
    Finish area Used for creating Finish-Start and Finish-Finish dependencies


    Editing dependencies

    Dependencies are created by first selecting a start- or finish area of the predecessor task, then selecting the start- or finish area of the successor task. This can be done using the task or the keyboard.

    Alternatively you can drop the predecessors connection area on the successors connection area.


    To edit or delete an existing dependency, you can open a dependency by selecting it, or open its context menu.


    You can also open the context menu on a connection area which will enable you to edit all dependencies connected to that area.

    Toolbar

    The toolbar provides the means to create and delete tasks:
