   To indicate that each of the activity's resources are scheduled according to his/her own calendar, select Resource Dependent.
   
   To indicate that the activity's duration is dependent on its predecessor and/or successor activities, select Level of Effort.
   
   To indicate that the activity marks the beginning of a major stage in the project, select Start Milestone.
   
   To indicate that the activity marks the end of a major stage in the project, select Finish Milestone.
   
   To indicate that the activity's duration is dependent on the activities assigned to the same WBS level, select WBS Summary.

   • Start and Finish Milestones do not have time-based costs, resource assignments, or durations.
   • You cannot assign resources that drive activity dates to WBS summary activities.
