How to view predecessors and successors activities?

Enable details to be shown on the bottom of the activity table. Select an activity from the table to view detailed information for it as presented in the following tabs:

GeneralGeneral information for ID, name, activity and duration type, calendar, % complete, WBS, responsible manager and primary resource.
StatusProvide information for activity duration, dates and constrains.
PredecessorsDisplays predecessor activities for the selected activity.
SuccessorsDisplays successor activities for the selected activity.
CodesActivity codes and values enable you to filter, group, sort, and report activity information. View assigned activities codes and values.
NotebookActivities notes.
StepsUsed to break activities down into smaller units and track the completion of those units. Calculate activity percent complete based on the weight you assign to each activity step.

Click on the Predecessors/Successors tab in the Activities Details view to be able to see the activities that precede or the activities that follow the activity that is selected in the Activities table.

You can also view predecessors’ and successors’ activities with the Trace Logic view.

The Trace Logic view is a special view that is always in combination with the Activity view. It enables you to step or “trace” forward and backward through a sequence of activities, so you can focus on predecessor/successor relationships. It is usually used by the Project managers and schedulers to examine why an activity is scheduled to occur at a particular time. This way you can easily determine if an activity’s predecessors were delayed or if existing constraints are still applicable. You can also see if relationship types portray the sequence in which the activities should occur.
