One of Infobar's sections focuses on task dependencies. The dependencies fall into four categories and resemble links configured in dependency configuration.

The Dependencies tab contains all information on task dependencies:

  • dependencies between the tasks in the scope of the current box

  • dependencies between the tasks in the current box and other boxes (indicated by an icon)

Each link contains the following information:

  • Source task

  • Target task

  • ASAP mode

  • Lag time

You can use the search box to show the list of dependencies for the selected task only.
 
The dependency type is listed in a column:

Focus on Task

Use the focus feature to select the source or target tasks - the app will adjust the timeline and highlight the task.
