Define Dependencies

Explanation

This activity is used to define dependencies between work list lines within a particular work task template, PM action or Depencies between Tasks. The dependencies defined would be useful when rescheduling work list lines.

Prerequisites

Work list lines must have been defined for the work task template, PM action and/or work order.

System Effects

As a result of this activity, work list lines will be connected to each other in a Predecessor - Successor (Parent - Child) relationship that can be used during scheduling.
