Free Slack vs Total Slack

Marie

I am wanting to show the 'slack' from one task to the
critical path and I am not sure which I should be using,
ie, 'Free Slack' or 'total slack'?

Total slack is the amount of time a task can delay before it affects the
critical path.
Free slack is the amount of time a task can delay before it affects any
tasks which follow it.
For tasks on the critical path they are the same and are equal to zero.
