Dependencies Advanced Attributes popup

The Dependencies Advanced Attributes popup provides the following fields:

Master Planning

Makes the selected Program available in the Master Planning workspace. The Master Planning workspace provides executives with a simpler and quicker way to monitor the key projects of their organization.

This option is only available for projects whose Nature is "Program".

Default Mapping

Allows the user to define the default way the Source object (Project or Task) of a dependency is going to be displayed on the Target Task:

  • Image – The Source object (Project or Task) dates will be shown at the Target Task level, without having any impact. The Start and Finish dates of the Source object are displayed in the form of grey triangles directly in the Gantt chart.

  • Copy – The Target Task Start and Finish dates will be identical to the ones of the Source object (Project or Task). In that case, the target tasks will be displayed in the Gantt chart with a grey horizontal line above the Gantt bar.

Default Task Synchronization

Allows the user to define the Task completion value used for synchronization: % Completed (default) or Completed Date.

Force Task Splitting

Activates the task "Allow Splitting" attribute by default upon synchronizing a Dependency.

Reminder: The “Allow Splitting” attribute defines whether or not the uncompleted portion of a task can be separated from its completed portion.

Allow the project to be a source

Allows the selected project to be chosen as a Source Object for a Project-to-Task Dependency.

Allow the tasks to be a source

Allows the selected project's tasks to be chosen as a Source Object for a Task-to-Task Dependency.

Task as Source

Allows the user to define which tasks are available for selection upon creating a new dependency:

  • Custom (default) – Only the Tasks whose Allow Dependencies field has been activated will be available for selection.

  • All – All the Tasks will be available for selection.

Dependency Date Base

Allows the user to choose the Baseline to take into account for the Dependency Source dates.
