.
- On the Task Properties dialog box, click
the Dependencies tab.
- To create a dependency, do one of the following:
- If the selected task is the dependent in the dependency,
click Add
in the Previous Activity (From)
section.
- If the selected task is the prerequisite in the dependency,
click Add
in the Following Activity (To)
section.
- On the Create Dependency dialog box,
provide the information requested, and click OK:
- Activity: Select whether you want to
create a dependency to another task, to a phase, or to a milestone.
- Depending on the choice you made in the
Activity box, the second list box is called

Tip: When creating a dependency to a task,
you can enter the full or partial barcode, task name, or external key into the
Task box to find matching tasks.
- Dependency: Select one of the following:
- START-START when the prerequisite activity must be
started, but not necessarily completed, before the dependent activity can
start.
- END-START when the prerequisite activity must be
completed before the dependent activity can start.
