Project Introduction course
Linking many different projects
Would I be able to link many different projects together, and how would I be able to do that?
RE: Linking many different projects
Hi Michelle
The easiest way to link projected is to insert them first as Subprojects. I've writen out below the steps to view a program of subprojects projects.
Then tasks can be linked by cicking on a task from one project, pressing CTRL and clicking on the successor task in a different project.
You will see in the predecessors column the link to the other task with the format -
Filepath\filenname\task id
To insert and display subprojects
1. Start with a new blank project
2. Select Project, Subproject
3. Select the first Project and click Insert
Then repeat for the next project etc.
4. Press the + to expand each project.
Hope that helps to answer your question about linking.
If not please say a bit more about what how you want to link projects.
Regards
