Start a task on the Xth day of another task

[DrBrain]

Hello there!

Would it be possible to schedule task A to start after task B has ran
for X days? This would be quite a useful feature, as task A is only
depended on the results obtained during the first X days of task B, but
not on the completion of task B.


Thanks!

First, you need to get to a field to edit this link. This can be by
double-clicking on the link in the Gantt or the Network Diagram, or by
going to a Predecessor or Successor field in various table (Entry).
Change the link to a Start to Start with a 7 day lag.
Hope this helps in your world.

DrBrain,
Sure, easy as pie (3.14159 . . .)
Use the following designation in the Predecessor field:
xxSS+yyDays

Hope this helps.
