Assigning Predecessor Relationships

You can assign predecessor relationships to the activities in a project.

To assign a predecessor relationship:

  1. On the  Navigation Menu, expand  Projects and click Activities.
    1. On the Activities page, select the activities to which you want to assign predecessors.
    2. Click  Context and select Assign Predecessors.
    3. In the Assign Relationships panel:
      • Select one or more activities from the Assign Predecessors list and click  Assign Predecessors.
      • Click  Close.
    4. On the Activities page, click Save.

Tip

  • Only Finish to Start relationships are created in the Assign Relationships panel. To create other types of relationships create the relationships in the Gantt View. Alternatively you can create the relationships in the Assign Relationships panel and then change the relationship type manually in the Relationships detail window.
  • When selecting a predecessor or successor activity, you can choose from activities in the open projects only.
