   Info

   When a predecessor's task dates are changed, the dependent's task dates should change respectively, i.e. if the finish date for task 1 is delayed by 2 days, the start date for task 2 will be delayed by 2 days. This is based on a dependency relationship of Finish to Start (the second task can only start when the first task is complete) and can be done with a one to many relationship. Dependencies can be included and stored in templates as well.

   
   In this example, Brainstorm/briefing Design; DTP was Design Review was made a predecessor of Brief WritingMotion Design.
