Link tasks (dependencies)

Short answer

Click a bar to open the task, then go to its Gantt options. Full steps below.

Where: Schedule > Gantt Chart tab, and inside a project: Projects > open project > Schedule > Gantt

Plans: Pro, Agency and Enterprise (or an active trial)

Steps

  1. Click a bar to open the task, then go to its Gantt options.
  2. Under Before, choose the tasks this one waits on; under After / Next up, choose the tasks that wait on this one. The arrows on the chart follow those links.
  3. Pick the link type (finish to start, start to start, etc.) and optional gap days. Links that would make tasks wait on each other in a loop are refused.

If a step does not match what you see on screen, stop there and open a ticket from Support > My Tickets with a screenshot of that step. The team will look at the account directly.
