The project task record can be used to keep track of specific activities and milestones associated with a project. We can set up the dependency type of the tasks while creating new tasks related to a project.
Within the Project Task record, navigate to the Predecessors subtab to establish dependency types for tasks.
- Choose an existing project task in the Task field.
- Select a dependency type for the existing task as it relates to the current task.
- Finish-to-Start (FS) – Task starts when preceding task finishes. Start date is adjusted based on the preceding task’s finish date.
- Start-to-Start (SS) – Task starts after preceding task starts. Start date is adjusted based on the preceding task’s start date.
- Start-to-Finish (SF) – Task finishes after the preceding task starts. Start date is adjusted based on the preceding task’s start date.
- Finish-to-Finish (FF) – Task finishes after the preceding task finishes. Start date is adjusted based on the preceding task’s finish date.
- If you want to add lag time to your tasks, enter the number of days in the Lag Days field.
- Click Add.
- Repeat these steps for each task dependency you need to set up.
