Dependencies help

98

Hi,

When I create dependencies , is it gonna change the status for me automatically?If not how to do it easliy?

 

NAME                          STATUS              

task a                             in process

task b                             in process

task c                        waiting(dependent)...TASK C is dependent on task B

task d                        to do  (no dependencies)

task e                        to do  (no dependencies)

When i'm done with task b, I will change the status to done.I want to have an automatic change in STATUS to  to do next for task C.

 

IF task b is done then task c STATUS changhes to:  to do next

This way I would know no to start more task and just work on to do next.

 

NAME                          STATUS              

task a                          in process

task b                             done

task c                           to do next 

task d                     to do  (no dependencies)

task e                     to do  (no dependencies)

 

thanks for your help.

Curious to see the answer.. I haven't really used this area

Do dependencies offer only visual help and then a user has to decide which task to do next? 

 

Or there is some built in feature by default that shows us the next tasks without opening the dependencies  chart(desgin).

 

Thanks
