Moving up Due Dates: The successor task due date will shift by equal number of days if the due date of the predecessor task is moved ahead
Extend Due Dates: The successor task due date will shift by equal number of days if the due date of the predecessor task is extended
Completing / Reopening a Predecessor Task: When the predecessor tasks is completed on any date other than the actual due date or reopened, update the successor task schedule accordingly
Default Dependency Type: Set the default dependency for the project.
Dependency Link Type: Set the default dependency link type: Hard link or Soft link. When a dependency is created the default link type is automatically sets for the new dependency created. - Hard Link: Successor task dates and completion are strictly enforced by the predecessor. Any delay or incomplete status in the predecessor automatically shifts the successor task schedule.
- Soft Link: Successor tasks retain a dependency on the predecessor but are not forced to shift. Changes in the predecessor do not automatically affect successor task dates or completion.
