Create predecessor relationships by chaining tasks
You can create predecessor relationships in multiple ways in 51黑料不打烊 Workfront. One method is by chaining tasks.
For information about predecessor tasks, see Overview of task predecessors.
By chaining tasks, you can allow the system to create the predecessor relationships automatically on selected tasks, rather than manually creating a relationship on each task yourself. Different predecessor relationship types can still be used between tasks.
