how do you link items?

RE: microsoft project

Hello Sam,

Hope you enjoyed your Microsoft Project Intro Intermediate course with Best STL.

Thank you for your question regarding linking items. The easiest way to link tasks is to hide all Summary Tasks and the Project Summary Task, then select all visible tasks and click the Link button. This will create a 'Finish-to-Start' link between all tasks.

As you are aware, there are a number of other ways to perform the same action in MS Project as was shown by your course instructor. Experiment with each different method and use whichever one suits your needs at the time.

I hope this resolves your question. If it has, please mark this question as resolved.

If you require further assistance, please reply to this post. Or perhaps you have another Microsoft Office question?

Have a great day.
Regards,

Rodney
Microsoft Office Specialist Trainer

MS Project tip:

Typing Links Between Tasks

In the Entry table, use the Precessors column to type in links. Type the previous task's ID to link. To change the link, add FS (Finish-Start), FF (Finish-Finish), and so on, and + duration to add a Lag, or - duration for a Lead time. Example: for task 5, 4FS+1w ... task 4 preceeds task 5, finish to start, with a week lag between.
