Create a Dependency Using the Set SF Relationship Option

After tasks are created in a project, you can create a predecessor relationship between them to establish a dependent relationship.

To use the Set SF Relationship option to create a dependency, complete the following steps:

1. From the Vision Navigation menu, click Planning > Project Planning and click the Schedule tab.
2. On the interactive Gantt chart, select two or more tasks (or groups of tasks) for which you want to create a relationship. The first item (a group or task) selected will be the predecessor(s) to all subsequent tasks selected. The predecessor task bar turns blue when selected while all subsequent task bars selected remain green. This is a visual way to identify which tasks will be predecessors and which will be successors when creating the dependency.
3. Right-click and select Set SF Relationship. An arrow from the predecessor to the successor displays between the tasks and a Start to Finish relationship is applied. In this relationship, the successor task cannot begin until the predecessor task has begun.

   After you finish establishing the dependent relationships, the tasks return to green.
