Create task dependencies (Gantt chart)

Procedure

1. Click the first task bar to display a four-headed arrow and drag the cursor straight up or straight down.
2. Position the cursor over the second task and release.

While dragging the mouse, a yellow status popup appears displaying the task dependency information. After the dependency is created, a blue dependency line appears on the Gantt chart between the two dependent tasks.

Note: A Finish to Start dependency is created when you release the mouse button. To create a different dependency type, hold down the Control key when you release the mouse; this allows you to edit the type and lag before you create the dependency.

You cannot create Master/Sub environment task dependencies between tasks in different schedules.

Proxy tasks mirror real tasks. If you change the dependencies on the real task, the dependencies on the proxy task change as well.
