ASAP

Soft dependency

Out-of-view dependencies

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").

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.

Focus on source/ target → you can't be taken to a task in a different box:

task hidden because of active filters

Only one task is visible. The other task is hidden because of active filters.  As a result, dependency cannot be visualized.

Out-of-view status is indicated by an icon in the Infobar:
