Tasks can be linked to each other graphically in the Gantt chart in the Schedule module and in table form in the Task module (Task Core Data) .

Graphically

• Move the cursor over the bar from which a link is to be create (source bar).

• White circles are displayed on both sides of the bar.

• Click on the circle on the side of the source bar from which the link should start. This depends on the type of the desired relationship.

• Repeat the procedure on the target bar and click on the circle at the side of the target bar to which you want the link to lead.

• The new link is created and visualized graphically as a connection line.
