In Celoxis, there are two ways by which you can add task dependencies within the same project.

     1. By manually entering the ID of the predecessor task:

    • 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.
      Multiple dependencies can be entered separated by semicolon.
      4FF;5SS;7

    • 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.

Tip
  • You can enter multiple dependency on a task by separating them by a comma semicolon (,;). For example 3FF,4SS as seen in the example above.;4SS
  • The lead/lag time can be set in hours,days, weeks, months, years. For example - : 34[-10d ] or 3[-2w ] or 45[+5h] or  or 56[-3w] or  or 123[+4mo] or  or 23[-1y]
