Create a Dependency Using the Set SS Relationship Option

After tasks are created in a project, you can establish a dependent relationship between them so the successor task cannot begin until the predecessor task begins.

To use the Set SS 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 will 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 SS Relationship. An arrow from the predecessor to the successor displays between the tasks and a Start to Start relationship is applied. In this relationship, the successor task cannot begin until the predecessor task begins.

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