The Dependencies tab on the Task Properties dialog box displays dependency relationships for the selected task, including internal and external dependencies. You can use this tab to edit the dependency relationship and to add new dependency relationships.
Note: If you specify percent as the lag type and Finish-Finish as the constraint type, you are specifying a percentage of the successor's duration. If you specify percent for any other constraint type, you are specifying a percentage of the predecessor's duration.
Overlap Tasks
If you want two tasks to be scheduled on the same day because the resource has remaining availability on that day, enter -1.00 as the lag to overlap the tasks.
Zero Lag
To schedule two dependent tasks, this first on one day and the next on the following day, enter zero as the lag amount.
