You can assign successor relationships to the activities in your project.
To assign a successor relationship:
- Click Projects.
- On the Projects navigation bar, click Activities.
- On the Activities page, select an activity to which you want to assign successors and click the Relationships detail window.
- In the Relationships detail window, in the Successors area, click Add.
- In the Select Successor Activity dialog box, select one or more activities and click OK.
- On the Activities page, click Save.
Tips
- You can also assign successor relationships in the Relationships detail window.
- You can also change an existing relationship in the Successors detail window. To choose a different successor, select the Activity ID field in an existing relationship and choose a different activity from an open project. The Relationship type and lag will be maintained if you select a new successor.
- You can assign relationships to multiple activities at one time. Select multiple activities using Ctrl+click or Shift+click. Right-click the selected activities and select Link Selected Activities. Based on their sequence in the view, the application creates Finish to Start relationships between selected activities. That is, a Finish to Start relationship is applied between the first and second activities, between the second and third activities, and so on. If an activity pair already has a Finish to Start relationship, the application tries, in turn, to apply each of the other relationship types, if possible. Otherwise, no relationship is applied to the pair.
- When selecting a predecessor or successor activity, you can choose from activities in the open projects only.
