Adding an external link |
SE GanttChart allows the linking of a task of the project in question with the task of another project. This resource must be used when the start and end dates of a project task depend on the task of another project, which is not a subproject or is directly related to the project in question. See how to perform this operation:
1.In the structure, select the task you wish to establish an external link with.
2.After that, click on the External link option from the Project tab.
3.At this point, the following screen will be displayed:
4.In the Predecessor tab, click on the button on the side toolbar and fill out the following fields of the screen that will open: Task: The fields in this section are be filled in with the data of the task selected in the project structure; however, it is possible to edit them. In this case, select the WBS, ID # or Name of the project with which the link will be established. Predecessor: Use the fields in this section to define the external task that will be linked. First, select the ID # or Name of the project whose tasks you wish to link. After that, select the WBS, ID # or Name of the previously selected project to be linked. Set also the dependency type between the tasks and if any, the lag that should be applied.
5.The Successor tab will only be filled in if the task selected in the structure is an external link (predecessor) of another task. In that case, the system will display the data of the successor tasks it is associated with. |
