Automate timeline for a series of events in sequence?

Arthur A · 04/22/19

Hi,

I'm working on a project that have many subtasks (module 1, 2, 3 etc in the attached screenshot) and many sub-subtasks (subtask 1, 2, 3 etc). Because these sub-subtasks are sequential, I tried to figure out a way to automate the timeline, meaning any delay in subtask 1 (start2 in the screenshot) will cascade in all following subtasks. I tried to use a function of Start 3 (=Finish2 + 1), but it didn't work.

I'm dealing with about 25 of these tasks, so the manual process will be repetitive. Any suggestions welcome!

Hi Arthur,

I'd recommend using the dependencies feature for this scenario.

Would that work?

Have a fantastic week!
