If you have two unrelated tasks and find that
one is must fix the other, you can create a relationship between the
two unrelated tasks. For example, you might specify one task to fix
another during conflict detection.
You can create a relationship
from the fix task by using the This task fixes table
or from the bad (broken) task by using the This task is
fixed by table.
Procedure
- Use the This task fixes table to
create a relationship from the fix task to the broken task.
- Right-click over the fix task, and select Properties.
To find a task, see Finding an object.
The fix task can be in the working or completed state.
- In the Properties dialog box,
click the Fix Tasks tab.
- In the This task fixes table,
click the plus sign to view the Select Task dialog
box.
Find the bad task that you want to add to the fix
task.
A fix task is a regular task with a special
relationship to the bad task that it fixes. These tasks become dependent
on each other.
