Outline tasks in a project
Indent and outdent tasks to show hierarchy. An indented task becomes a subtask of the task above it, which becomes a summary task.
-
Select View > Task Views > Gantt Chart.
-
Select the task or tasks in the Task Name column that you want to indent or outdent.
-
Do one of the following:
-
Select Task > Schedule >Indent Task
-
Select Task > Schedule > Outdent Task
-
You can use subtasks and summary tasks to show phases, easily navigate through a large project, and more.
Link tasks in a project
You can link any two tasks in a project to show their relationship, which is called a task dependency. After you link the tasks, every change you make to one affects the other.
-
Select View > Task Views > Gantt Chart.
-
Hold down Ctrl and select the two tasks you want to link (in the Task Name column).
-
Select Task > Link the Selected Tasks
Project supports four kinds of task links to show different relationships.
