Entering dependencies for tasks

If a task has a predecessor in another job, Sage 100 Contractor displays the names of the predecessor job and task when you select the Predecessor checkbox while in Gantt view. Click the detail button next to that information to display the predecessor job.

To enter a dependency for a task:

1. Open 10-3 Schedules.
2. Select the task for which you want to set up predecessors.
3. On the Options menu, click Predecessors.
4. In the Job cell, enter the job number.
5. In the Phase cell, enter the phase number.
6. In the Predecessors cell, enter the task number of the task you want to set as the predecessor.
7. In the Relation cell, enter the type number for the relationship the task has with its predecessor.

8. In the Lead/Lag cell, do one of the following:

   • For lead, enter the number of days you want the task to overlap its preceding task as a negative number.
   • For lag, enter the number of days you want to delay the task as a positive number.
9. Click File > Save.
