Linking sucessors to split tasks

What successor format must you use to get a successor to happen every time a part of a split task is performed?

RE: linking sucessors to split tasks

Hi Sabine

Thank you for your question. Project will only let you connect to the start or finish of the whole task, not to the start or finish within a task that has been created as a result of a split.

You can get close to the effect you are looking for by first creating a summary task and then making several sub tasks below it (rather than splitting one larger task down).

I hope this helps - do let us know if you have any further questions.

Kind regards,
Andrew

MS Project tip:

Autofit column width – Project (all versions)

At the top of the columns where each column name is located (Task Name, Duration, etc.), hover over the vertical column line which you want to move.

A short bold vertical line will appear, with horizontal arrows pointing left and right.

Left click and hold this icon and it will permit you to grab the column line, allowing you to move it left or right to your desired location.
