Task relations
Easy8 provides 8 types of task relations
• related to - Just adds a link to the other task.
•duplicates - Links tasks so that closing one, will close the other (e.g. closing A will close B). For
example, if task B duplicates A:
- closing B will leave A open
- closing A will automatically close B
• duplicated by - Reciprocal of duplicates.
For example, if task A is duplicated by task B: - closing B will leave A open
- closing A will automatically close B
• blocks - Links tasks so that closing one can be blocked by an task which is still open. If task B blocks A, A can't be closed unless B is.
• blocked by - Reciprocal of blocks.
•precedes - Links tasks to define an "order", where A needs to be completed x days before B can be
started on. If B follows A, you can't give B a starting date equal or less than the ending date of A. • follows - Reciprocal of precedes.
If task B follows A (ex A ends the 21/04 and B begin the 22/04)and you add +2 day at the
ending date of A, the starting and ending dates of B will be +2 too.
•copied from - Links tasks to identify whether it was copied, and from which task it was copied from. • copied to - Reciprocal of copied from.
