Displaying Dependencies

Expanded

Dependencies are displayed as arrows:

Outgoing dependencies list → click on a dot to see the list:

Incoming dependencies list → click on a dot to see the list:

Broken Dependencies

If a strong dependency cannot be fulfilled because of other scheduling rules it is displayed as an orange arrow (soft dependencies don't have a scheduling impact; therefore, they cannot be "broken").

For example, a task can be in a manual or locked scheduling mode

The number of dependencies exceeds the module capability

If the number of dependencies is too high to handle visually, they won't be shown in the form of arrows. 

Collapsed 

If a task has any dependencies, they are indicated as a number in a dot. 

To view dependency information, click on a dot.

incoming dependencies → the task is a target (endpoint) of dependencies. The source tasks (starting points of the dependencies) are listed.

outgoing dependencies → the task is a source (starting point) of outgoing dependencies. The target tasks (the endpoints of the dependencies) are listed.

Task details - list of dependencies

In the task details dialogue, you can see the full list of both outgoing and incoming dependencies. Click on a task on the gantt chart to open the task details dialogue. 

The dialogue box can be expanded:

Infobar

You can view the full dependency list in the Inforbar.

Dependencies and task dates

When there are many tasks linked by dependencies and one of the tasks loses both dates (start and end dates), dependencies are saved. The arrow between tasks will temporarily disappear, but you can still check the dependency by switching to the “Collapsed” display and clicking on a number in a dot next to the task.

Once you assign at least one date to the task, the arrow between tasks will appear.

Out-of-view dependencies 

Out-of-view dependencies can't be displayed on the Gantt chart.
