Sequence the order in which tasks must be completed by mapping the relationship between them via dependencies.
Use Case
- Understand the impact of a task on other tasks.
- Restrict users from closing tasks until the related tasks are closed.
- Map dependencies to indicate when the result of one task will form the input details for the another task.
Terminologies
Parent Task - The first task in the sequence on which other tasks depend is called the parent task. The dependent tasks cannot be closed until the parent task is closed.
Child Task - Tasks dependent on the parent task are called child tasks.
Connector - The connection arrow used to link parent and child tasks.

In the Tasks tab, click Dependencies on the toolbar.
The Task Dependency page is displayed. Hover a task to preview the task details. The background color indicates the percentage of work completed so far.
