Introduction
You can enable the ASAP mode for strong dependencies - . In such case, the scheduling mechanism will try to reduce the gap between dependent tasks to a minimum. When you set this toggle- switch to active, the App app remembers the settings, and all future dependencies are dependencies will be created in with the ASAP mode.

The Source task date rules the Target task date. It's a uni-directional relationship. |
...
There are four possible ways to connect tasks:
End end to start - the end date of a task dictates the ASAP start of a target task.

The direction of the dependency is based on how you create a dependency (the direction of an arrow when connecting tasks). |
In other words - , dependency in ASAP mode always schedules the target task as soon as possible based on dependency type. There are no restrictions on how many dependencies are created for each source or target task as long as they are not creating circular relationshiprelationships. If a task is moved to a prohibited position (based on dependency type and mode), it is moved back/forward to the appropriate position.
...
The Lag time is the minimum time between the tasks, but if you set a 3 day lag time and a task ends on Wednesday, effectively, the gap will last 4 days (Saturday is counted as the 3rd day, but it is not possible for the next task to start on Sunday).

ASAP "on" vs "off"
...
ASAP mode on
With ASAP mode is activated on, there is only one possible position for the target date. position where a dependency can place a task. The lag time is respected. With ASAP mode on, the date of the target task should be the same as the date of the source task.
In the example below (no lag time), end date of PP-326 dictates the start date of PP-332. The target start date can't be manually overridden - it will always be the next possible day after the source end date.

...
ASAP mode off
When ASAP mode is "off", there is more than one way to position a task. The lag time is respected.
With ASAP mode is "off", the target task cannot start before the source end date, but it can start at any point after it. date of the target task should be the same or later than the date of the source task.
There is more than one possible start date for the PP-332 task (any date after August 6th will work).
