Dependencies and Predecessors
I am brand new to using Smartsheets and need help on creating multiple date dependencies. Β I want to track a myriad of tasks over time, ultimately based on a final event date. Β Each task has a different due date in realtionship to the final event date, and would thus have a different start date. Β The tracking document also has predecessors. Β How do I properly set up the dependencies to accomplish this?

Jenny,

First, make sure you have two Date type columns in your sheet.
Β
Go to the Gantt view and find the little gear symbol - that is the Project Settings.
Β
In Project Settings, enable Dependencies.
This will add the Predecessor column if it doesn't already exist.
Β
Your dependencies are built in the Predecessors column.
