Task Dependencies Properties

Use the Dependencies tab on the Task Properties dialog to add or remove task dependencies. To view this tab, right-click the task in a view that displays the task detail pane, and click Dependencies in the shortcut menu.

This tab displays a hierarchical list of existing dependencies between the task you have selected and other tasks on the project. Use this tab to create, modify, or delete dependency relationships, and to review the task's name, relationship, dependency type, and the amount of lag. You can also apply dependencies to more than one task using this tab.

The Dependencies grid on this tab displays the following icons that you can use to identify the task's dependency relationships:

Predecessor

This icon indicates that the task is a predecessor to the selected task.

Successor

This icon indicates that the task is a successor to the selected task.
