- Go to your project.
- Select the Interactive Gantt View view from the view View drop down, if its not already selected.
- Select the Columns button from the toolbar and add the Predecessor column to the grid.
- Select 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 to (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 turn turns green.
- Now release the click and a finish-to-start (FS) dependency has been added between the two tasks.

To enter inter-project dependency, you need the System ID of the project. This can be found on the Project Details page. So, the dependency you set in the predecessor column will look like 147497:34FF[5d]

The Inter project dependency lines on the project cannot be shown in the Gantt View. |
