Predecessors and Lags
You define information about predecessors and lags in the Predecessor
tab of Task Information dialog box.
You can use the Standard toolbar button to link tasks; however, this
method of creating task dependencies has limitations. Particularly
you cannot link a task (from example Task #5) to a previous task
(for example Task #3).
•
Sometimes it is convenient to use predecessor tab instead of link
toolbar buttons when task has multiple predecessor or if there is a
big difference in task Ids between current task and predecessor. For
example, it is not convenient to link task number 5 to task number
74 using toolbar buttons.
• You may use Predecessor column within Gantt view to define
or modify predecessors. Text: “1, 2+2 days” would mean than current
task has two predecessors (Task 1 and Task 2 with lag 2 days).
