Create Internal Task Dependencies

You can create and edit dependency relationships between tasks using different ways. You can create dependencies between tasks in the same project on Gantt charts, in spreadsheet views, and from a CPM network view to create internal task dependencies. Use the Dependencies tab on the Task Properties dialog to create dependencies.

Note: You can create predecessor or successor dependency relationships in a spreadsheet view, only in a view that displays the task detail pane.

Follow these steps:

1. Open a view that displays the task detail pane.
2. Right-click the task for which you want to create a dependency relationship and click Dependencies in the shortcut menu.
3. Click the task to which you want to create the dependency in the Project Tasks grid.
4. Select the task from the hierarchy:
   • Press the Shift key on your keyboard and click a range of tasks to select a contiguous range of tasks.
   • Press and hold the Ctrl key on your keyboard and click the tasks to select a noncontiguous range of tasks.
5. Complete one of the following steps to add task to the Dependencies grid:
   • Double-click the task.
   • Select a task and drag your selection into the Dependencies grid.
   • Select a task and click Add Predecessor or Add Successor.
   • Right-click a task and click Add Predecessor(s) or Add Successor(s) in the shortcut menu.
6. Click OK.
