Creating dependencies

Creating dependencies

You can create a dependency in the following ways:

1. Click on the dot next to the taskbar and drag and drop it on the target task, or drop it to the dependency dot of the target task. When you hover over a dependency dot or a taskbar of the target task, both the dot and half of a taskbar pulsate. 

2. Click the dot next to the taskbar when you hover over the task with the mouse.

3. Create dependencies directly on a Jira issue page.

Example 1

1. Click on the dot next to a taskbar.
