Gantt Chart Linking Records

Top Next

ManagePro enables you to create a basic dependency link between one goal and another. It links the Due date of the first record (predecessor record) to the start date of the second record (Target). So if the Due date of the first goal moves out past the original Start date of the second goal then the second goal will get pushed out automatically.

 

Linking goals is done in the Gantt Chart view. When picking two goals to link make sure the start date of the Target record is the same or later than the Due date of the predecessor record. You can also leave the fields of both goals blank and as soon as you enter a Due date in the predecessor record then the same date flows down as the start date of the Target record.

 

Follow the steps below to link 2 goals together.

 

1.

Highlight the predecessor record and click the Enter to Creation Link Mode icon on the Timeline Toolbar (small link chain).link creation
