Gantt charts in ProofHub allow you to set dependencies between different tasks in a project. In the case of dependent tasks, if the first task is postponed, you don\u2019t need to go to every task and change the task dates. All the dependent tasks get dragged along with the first task. Setting dependencies between tasks on a Gantt chart give you a good view of what’s next.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Set dependencies<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Go to the task for which the dependency needs to be set.<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Click on the small circle next to the task.<\/li>\n
  3. Drag it to another task and you can link the tasks together.\u00a0
    \n\"set
    \n<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. Once the tasks are linked, the task that you dragged will be dependent on the first task.<\/span><\/li>\n
  5. To enable dependencies, you need to enable cascade changes. <\/span><\/li>\n
  6. Select View options<\/strong>\u00a0at the top-right of the page and check off\u00a0Cascade changes<\/strong>\u00a0option\u00a0from the list.
