Creating Activity Relationships

Create activity relationships to show interdependencies between activities.

To create an activity relationship:

  1. Open one or more projects in the Projects section using one of the following methods:
    • Click "" Projects to open the last project or group of projects you were working with.
    • Click the "" Projects menu and choose one of the most-recently used projects or group of projects.
    • Click the "" Projects menu and choose Open Projects to select a project or group of projects by portfolio type, EPS node, or project code.
  2. On the Projects navigation bar, click "" Activities.
  3. On the Activities page:
    1. Click the View menu and select "" Gantt Chart.
    2. Click the View menu and select "" Show Relationship Lines.

      Note: If "" Hide Relationship Lines is displayed in the View menu, the lines are already set to show. Exit the menu and return to the Gantt chart.

    3. Right-click the bar to which you want to assign a relationship and click Create Relationship.

      Note: Your cursor will become a cross.

    4. With the cross, click the beginning or end of the bar and then click the beginning or end of the bar you want to relate.

      Note: Where you click each bar determines the type of relationship. See About Relationships.

    5. Click the Actions menu and select "" Save (Ctrl+S).

Tips

  • You can scroll through the Gantt chart while your cursor is a cross to find a related bar.
  • To delete a relationship, right-click the relationship line and select Delete Relationship.
  • If multiple projects are open, you can create external relationships.
  • You can also view or configure existing predecessor or successor relationships, from the Predecessors or Successors detail windows.
