QuickPlan provides three methods to maintain task links.

  • Switch to "Task Linking State" to maintain task links on the Gantt Chart.
  • Directly maintain task links on the Gantt Chart.
  • Maintain task links in the Outline List.

Maintain task links on the Gantt Chart by entering "Task Linking State".

  • Tap the "Task Linking" button on the toolbar, then follow the onscreen tips to link tasks.
  • Tap to select a task, then choose another task to create a link or remove an existing one.

Auto-Schedule

  • When linking tasks, if the "Option" key is pressed, the successor task date may shift to respect the new link.
  • "Respect created task link" option: Controls whether to automatically adjust the successor's date when creating a new task link.

Direct Task Links Creation

QuickPlan 11 introduces a method to link tasks directly, without needing to enter "Task Linking State" via the toolbar button.

  • Tap to select a task as the predecessor.
  • Press "Command" and tap another task to link (or unlink) them. If "Option" is also pressed, the successor task date may change to respect the new link (auto-schedule).

Best Practice

Using constraints from a mathematical perspective is precise, but is it comprehensive for large numbers of links? We have an article on how to organize tasks effectively.
