- Go to your project.
- Select the Interactive Gantt view from the View drop down, if its not already selected.
- Select the Columns button from the toolbar and add the Predecessor column to the grid.
- Select the task for which you need to add a predecessor and type the ID of the predecessor task in its Predecessor cell. The default dependency type is finish-to-start (FS). You can also indicate alternate dependencies (e.g. FF or SS) to model your project realistically.
- You can also indicate lead or lag times using square brackets. For example: 5[-3d ] indicates a predecessor (ID 5) with a 3 days lead time. 8[+4h ] indicates a predecessor (ID 8) with a 4 hours lag time.
- Task dependencies within the same project are visually depicted using dependency links on the Gantt Chart view.
...
- Hover over a predecessor task in the Gantt Chart view to bring up small bubble icons at its two ends.
- Move over the bubble at the end of the task. The mouse pointer changes to a hand-pointer.
- Left click on the bubble and drag the dependency link onto the start (left) bubble of a successor task, without releasing the click. You will notice the start (left) bubble of the successor task turns green.
- Now release the click and a finish-to-start (FS) dependency has been added between the two tasks.
