About Infobar Dependencies

Dependencies is the name of one of the main sections in the Gantt Infobar.

This section displays a list of task dependencies present in a given box and groups them based on their respective dependency type, reflecting the settings configured on the dependency configuration page. You can collapse and expand each dependency group.

The Dependencies tab lists dependencies between two tasks, where:

  • Both tasks are in the scope of the current box.

  • One task is in the scope of the current box, and the other one is in the scope of another box (for example, a cross-project dependency). Such a dependency is indicated with a crossed-eye icon.

...

Dependency details

Expand a dependency to see the following information:

  • Source task

  • Target task

  • Task key

  • Task dates

  • Status

  • Dependency type

  • Lag time

...

Search for tasks

The search bar allows you to find a specific task (or tasks) whose dependencies you want to inspect.

You can narrow down the search results to show only those dependencies of the selected tasks that have the ASAP mode enabled or disabled.

...

Focus on task

Use the Focus feature to focus the Gantt timeline on the source or a target task of a selected dependency. The app will adjust the timeline and highlight the source or a target task.

Only the tasks that belong to the scope of the current box can be focused.

...

Edit dependency

Out-of-view dependencies 

Out-of-view dependencies cannot be displayed on the Gant chart but are included on the dependency list if one of the dependent tasks is in the scope of the current box. 

A source or target task is in the scope of another box

Only one task is visible on the Gantt chart, while the other one is in a different box. As a result, dependency cannot be visualized.

The out-of-view status is indicated by:

  • Crossed-eye icon in the Infobar.

Dependency link details

Each link contains the following information:

  • Source task.

  • Target task.

  • ASAP mode.

  • Lag time.

  • Out-of-view.

Search for tasks

The search bar allows you to find a specific task (or tasks) whose dependencies you want to inspect. You can narrow down the search results to show only those dependencies of the selected tasks that have the ASAP mode enabled or disabled.

The search results will no longer be grouped by the dependency type but by the tasks you searched for. Note that the out-of-scope dependencies have a blank group heading.

You can still check the dependency type for every task. Mouse over the icon in the Type column. The tooltip will tell you what type of dependency it is.

Focus on task

Use the Focus feature to focus the Gantt timeline on the source or a target task of a selected dependency. The app will adjust the timeline and highlight the source or a target task.

Only the tasks that belong to the scope of the current box can be focused.
