Details

• The dependencies created and displayed in this module are of purely informational nature. They have no effect whatsoever on the schedules of the projects concerned.
• There are two ways to illustrate dependencies between projects in PLANTA project:
  • via cross-project (external) links (they have an effect on the task dates of the connected projects).
  • by having external tasks displayed in your own schedule (they have no effect on the task dates of the connected projects).
