To make a Start-to-Start relationship between tasks, you need to establish a Start to Start dependency in the Predecessors or Successors column or in Task Information dialog under the Predecessors tab. For example, you have task ID 1 and task ID 2 and you want to establish a Start-to-Start dependency. In task ID 2 on Predecessors columns write 1SS.

There are two ways to establish a relationship between two tasks or link two tasks:
- Click on the task that will be dependent and go to Task Information – Predecessors – select the task that will dictate the relationship and the type of link between them – click OK.
- Enter the ID of the task in the Predecessors/Successors field. You can enter the ID of the predecessor/successor and this automatically creates a Finish-Start link from the predecessor/successor to the current task or you can enter the ID of the predecessor/successor followed by the link type - a value in {SS, SF, FF}.

The Finish to Finish dependency forces a task to finish only when/after its predecessor/successor is completed; both tasks finish at the same time. If a nonzero lag is present, it is added to the Finish date.For instance, a value of 4FF+2 days in the Predecessors column signifies a Finish - Finish type link with a lag of two days, where the current task has the task with ID = 4 as its predecessor.

The Finish to Start dependency is the default link type applied. It forces a task to start only when/after its predecessor/successor has finished; predecessor/successor finishes and the other starts.A link can also have a "lag" value specified. Finish-to-start is the most common dependency type. If a nonzero lag is present, it is added to the Start date; otherwise, the task starts immediately after the predecessor/successor is completed. A positive lag value will create a gap between the finish of one task and the start of another.

You can change the duration of a task by resizing it. In order to do that, follow the steps below:
- Move your mouse the end portion of the bar and you should notice a specific icon of the mouse.
- Hold down the mouse and move the virtually displayed taskbar to the right if you want to increase the duration of the task, or to the left if you want to shorten the duration of your task.
- Release the mouse when you are satisfied to the resulted duration of your task or length of its corresponding taskbar.
Also you can change the duration of the tasks by typing another value in the duration cell for the desired tasks.

To have a task begin X number of days before another task, you need a lead time.Lead time is overlap between tasks that have a dependency.Example: If a task can start when its predecessor is half-finished, you can specify a finish-to-start dependency with a lead time for the successor task. You enter lead time as a negative value.
- Let’s say you have two tasks. Task ID 1 with a duration of 5 days and Task ID 2 with a duration of 3 days. You want that task ID 2 starts with 2 days before task ID 1 ends. In the Predecessors field, we establish a Finish-To-Start dependency and set the lead time -2days: 1FS-2days.

To change a task’s duration at any time to reflect the actual amount of time it needs:
- Go to the Gantt Chart View.
- In the Duration column for the task, type the duration in minutes (m), hours (h), days (d), weeks (w), or months (mo).
- If the new duration is an estimate, type a question mark (?) after it.
- Press Enter.
Be careful about changing a duration by using the Start and Finish columns, especially for linked tasks or automatically scheduled tasks. Your changes might conflict with the task dependencies or task constraints Project is tracking, which can throw a carefully constructed schedule off track.

There are more possibilities to cut the row corresponding to a task or resource:
- Use the Cut option under Task tab.
- Use CTRL+X / Command+X combination on your keyboard.
- Select Cut Task or Cut Resource from the contextual menu after you right click on a task/resource ID.
After you cut the entire row, you must use the Paste command to insert the task or resource in another destination location from your project. To perform this, you have several possibilities:
- Use CTRL+V / Command+V combination on your keyboard.
- Click on Paste option from the Task menu.
- Select Paste option from the contextual menu after you right click on a task/resource ID.

When you copy a task, the following information about it will be copied: task name, duration, work, cost, start and finish dates, constraints, task calendar, task mode, task type, assigned resources, %complete, %work complete, notes, actual duration, remaining duration, actual cost, remaining cost, actual work, remaining work, baseline start, baseline finish, baseline work, hyperlink, address and subaddress.There are more possibilities to copy a task:
- Click Copy option from Task tab.
- Press CTRL+C / Command+C
- Select Copy Task from contextual menu after you right click on a task.
In order to paste a task, select the rows where you want to paste the selection and click Paste.

In our application you can only add hyperlinks with attachements from your local device or from a cloud.In order to add a hyperlink to a task, you need to apply first the Hyperlink table from the menu Project - Table. Then you can change the Hyperlink Address field as below:
- For a file from local device, in Hyperlink Address field insert the path to the file like this: file:///C:/Users/UserName/Desktop/PDFName.pdf
- For a file from cloud or web address, in Hyperlink Address field insert the path to the file like this: https://docs.google.com
In Hyperlink field add the name of your file.
