Edit task dependencies (task table)

Perform either of the following procedures.

Using the Dependencies dialog box

1. Select the task in the task table.

2. Right-click and choose Dependencies.

   Teamcenter displays the Dependencies dialog box.

3. Select the dependency to be edited from either the Predecessors or Successors boxes and click Edit to display the Edit Dependency dialog box.

4. From the Type list, select the dependency type: SS (Start-to-start), FS (Finish-to-start), SF (Start-to-finish), FF (Finish-to-finish).

5. In the Lag Time box, enter the lag time, adding + or - values as needed. Lag time is the built-in time delay between tasks.

   Lead and lag times are useful when you have two dependent tasks, but the time between them must remain constant. For example, you cannot schedule a "hanging pictures" task until two days after a "paint walls" task completes because the walls need to dry. Rather than creating a new task called "drying walls," you can add a lag time of 2d to the hanging pictures task.

   Note: Lag time is based on working time. In the example above, if the paint walls task finishes on Friday, Schedule Manager does not start the next task, hanging pictures, until Wednesday (four calendar days). Lag time is based on an 8-hour work day and the calculations will not be valid if your working time per day is more than 8 hours.

6. Click OK.

Using the Predecessor or Successor columns

1. Select the task in the task table.
2. Double-click either the Predecessor or Successor cell.
3. Change the dependency information in the box.
4. Press Enter.

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