Is there a way to set a time between milestones or tasks?
I have a committee meeting which is a milestone.
If certain documents need to be submitted 2 weeks before that meeting, how do I set that up in SmartSheet?
I thought of just making a 2-week task called something like 'secretary prepares agenda', but it feels a bit clunky.

OK lets say the agenda was row one and the meeting was row two. The predecessor you want in row one is 2SF-10
Explanation:
Smartsheets has 4 different types of predecessors
FS: When the predecessors finishes the successor starts. i.e. 2
SF: When the predecessors starts the successor finishes. i.e. 2SF
SS: When the predecessors starts the successor also starts. i.e. 2SS
FF: When the predecessors finishes the successor also finishes. i.e. 2FF
You can add lags between tasks by adding +{No of Days} after the predecessor syntax i.e 2+10
You can add leads between tasks by adding -{No of Days} after the predecessor syntax i.e 2-10
You have a Start-Finish predecessor with a 10 day lead, therefore 2SF-10.
