In Celoxis, you can create dependencies between tasks in the same project or between tasks in different projects.
To enter dependencies:
- Go to your Project.
- Go to the Interactive Gantt of your project.
- Select a task and do either of the following - Right click on it to select Edit OR click the pencil shaped icon.
You can also add the Predecessors column on the Gantt. - Under the Basic tab, in the Predecessors column, type the ID of the predecessor task. For instance, 5[-3d] indicates a predecessor with 3 days lead time or 8[+4h] indicates a predecessor with 4 hours lag time.
- Click OK.
ALTERNATELY
From the Gantt, you can drag drop between tasks to create dependencies.
For eg. To create an FS dependency between T1 and T2 from the Gantt view, mouse over T1's end, click, drag the mouse to T2's start and release. This creates an FS dependency.
- You can enter multiple dependency on a task by separating them by a comma (,). For example 3FF,4SS as seen in the example above.
- The lead/lag time can be set in hours,days, weeks, months, years. For example - 34[-10d] or 3[2w] or 45[5h] or 56[-3w] or 123[4mo] or 23[-1y]
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.
