In This Topic
To create a Start-to-Finish predecessor type, use the Task Information dialog box at run time like the following:
- Double click on the task bar you wish to create the predecessor type in the chart view area, for example, Level the concrete, task.
The cursor icon will change once you place it over the desired task bar.
The Task Information dialog box appears once you double-click the desired task.
- Select the Predecessors tab and click the Add button.
- Click the dropdown arrows from the Predecessor Task Name: and select the predecessor task, for example, Pour the foundation.
- Select Start-to-finish (SF) from the Predecessor Type.
This predecessor type implies that the dependent task, Level the concrete, cannot finish until the start of, Pour the foundation.
- Click OK to apply the changes and close the Task Information dialog box.
