Dependencies

The Dependencies tab enables you to specify the work project's dependencies, if any. You can create tasks as a planning tool but not link them to a service request or work order, or you can associate a task with a work order or service request. If you create a new work order or service request and link it to the task, the start and due dates are those of the task. Tasks may be dependent on other tasks in the same project.

Tip: To limit the display of information in the grid and maximize performance, use the filter. You can sort on work project ID, project name, status, user ID that created the project, and user ID that owns the project.
