Dependencies View

The Dependency Rule View lets you specify the scenario and rule set/s that you can view or edit, and each row in the Dependency Rule View data sheet represents a dependency rule. The following columns display for each dependency rule:

•	successor record

•	successor activity

•

•	predecessor record

•	predecessor activity.

Displaying OR dependencies

OR dependencies typically have one successor and multiple predecessors. The Dependency Rule View differentiates OR dependencies by displaying the successor on the first row, and double quotes on each predecessor on a subsequent row, for example:
