Create Multiple Dependencies

You can create multiple dependencies between project tasks. You can add multiple predecessors for successors for a task or milestone or you can create a chain of dependencies.

Create Dependency Chains

As an alternative to individually creating dependency relationships, you can select multiple tasks simultaneously and can create a chain of predecessor-to-successor relationships. You can create in any spreadsheet view that displays the task detail pane.

Note: You must have two or more tasks in a view to create a dependency chain.

Follow these steps:

  1. Select the task you want to designate as the predecessor.
  2. Press the Ctrl key on your keyboard and click each task that you want to make a successor.
  3. Right-click one of the selected tasks, and click Make Chain in the shortcut menu.
