Standard job task

Select the task that is the predecessor to this task. For example, if you are creating a relationship from task 3 (successor) to task 2 (predecessor), select task 2 in the list. You can select any task on the current job. You cannot select a task that is already dependent on the current task, or that would create a relationship that would result in a circular dependency. For example, if task 2 is dependent on task 1, and task 3 dependent on task 2, you cannot make task 1 dependent on task 3.

Title

The name or short description of this item. You can enter up to 250 characters.

Hierarchy location

A hierarchy location is a string of letters and numbers that identifies where the asset is in the physical hierarchy. APM constructs a full hierarchy location using the code that you enter in the Hierarchy code box joined with the hierarchy codes for its parent/ancestors. The codes are separated by a period (.). Hierarchy locations are updated whenever the asset or one of its ancestors is moved within the hierarchy (or if a hierarchy code changes).

Type

Select the type of predecessor relationship: • Finish-to-start (FS): The successor task cannot start until the predecessor is finished • Start-to-start (SS): The successor task cannot start until the predecessor starts • Finish-to-finish (FF): The successor task finishes at the same time as the predecessor • Start-to-finish (SF): The successor task finishes at the same time as the predecessor starts

Lag

Enter any required lag time for the relationship. You can use lags to offset the start or completion time of two linked tasks. For example, if two tasks have a finish-to-start relationship with a four-hour lag, task B will start four hours after the completion time of task A. To overlap tasks, enter a negative lag time. Using the same example, entering “-2” hours sets task two to start 2 hours before the completion time of task one.
