Specifying Children

From the Task Type list, if you selected Parent as the Task Type, the Children tab replaces the Parameters tab.

Task hierarchies make templates and schedules easier to navigate by grouping related tasks. You define task hierarchies by creating parent tasks and adding other tasks to them as children. You can expand a parent task to display its children or collapse it to hide them. You can use the Children tab to specify tasks below a task in the hierarchy. The Existing Tasks list displays a list of available tasks that are not children of other tasks.

  To specify child tasks:

  1. From the New Task dialog, select the Children tab.

  2. From the Existing Tasks list, select one or more tasks.

  3. Click Move or Move All to move the tasks to the Selected Tasks list.

    Tip:

    To remove tasks, select them from the Selected Tasks list and click Remove or Remove All to return them to the Existing Tasks list.
