Ask the Experts: 5-hour knowledge exchange marathon on 'Task Dependencies' in Zoho Projects.

Hey folks!

The Ask the Experts initiative for this month focuses on issues that frequent the support desk and hence demand expert advice.

This session is around 'Task Dependencies" as it has invited many a query on the forums on topics such as:

1. How to set dependencies for unscheduled tasks?

2. Can I set task dependency in task templates?

3. What are the dependency types supported by Zoho Projects?

Task dependencies help in linking tasks that depend on a sequence. While the Finish to Start dependency is the most common type, other combinations like Start to Start, Start to Finish, and Finish to Finish can also crop up. Whatever your situation, we now support all that your business needs in linking series of tasks.

This platform brings together product experts, the Zoho partners and other techies to be at your disposal for five full hours as you seek expert guidance.

Go ahead and begin posting them as comments below; our Product experts will address them once we're live.

We'll be live on January 25th, between 5:30 A.M - 10:30 A.M (PST) | 1:30 P.M - 6:30 P.M (GMT)

If you are up to helping out your peers, do jump in with you expert answers! The more, the merrier :)

Talk to you all soon!

Note: This is NOT a webinar. It is a discussion on Zoho Projects forums where our experts will field your queries for five hours straight. To post your queries, hit reply to the post and start typing away!
