Contents
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Type |
Define the relationship type.
|
| Lag |
Define the lag time. Lag is the time delay associated with the relationship. Lags can be either positive (to indicate a delay between two events) or negative (to indicate an overlap or lead time between two events). For example, if an activity cannot start until two days after the completion of its predecessor, define a finish-to-start relationship between the two activities and enter a lag of 2 days. |
| Calendar |
Define the calendar. By default, the calculation of lag times uses the calendar assigned to the successor activity. You can, however, assign a different calendar to the lag. |
| Add Predecessors / Add Successors |
Add the activities as predecessors or successors of the anchor activity by clicking Add Predecessors or Add Successors. |
| Find / Find Next |
Search for a specific activity by entering either the activity ID (or a partial ID) or the activity description in the Find field. |
| Expand All / Collapse All |
Expand or collapse the hierarchy of activities by clicking these buttons. |
| Refresh |
As activities are added, deleted, or renamed, the activity list will not be automatically updated. You can click the Refresh button to reload the activities, as well as the activity calendars. When refreshing the dialog box, current selections are cleared and the hierarchy is collapsed. |
| Clear All |
Click this button to clear the selections for all the selections in the Available fields hierarchy, regardless of whether the hierarchy is expanded or collapsed. |
