Jon: I may have a solution but I want to test it before documenting it. Question: in all of your discussion, the time to complete a task once its predecessor finishes is always 7 days. Would it be fair to assume that the duration for each task in a series will be the same? I believe that I cam make it work even if the task durations vary but it will be a longer, more complex process.
Mark, dependencies do not affect either the start date or the due date of a task. All that dependencies can do is to create a period beginning at the start date during which the task is inactive due to uncompleted dependency and therefore remove the task from any to-do lists. The only two processes that I can think of that actually make calculated changes to a due date are recurrence (which I hope to propose as a solution) and creation of a new task from a template. -Dwight Mlo betazoid on Android sgn2 On Feb 3, 2014, Mark <mark.fu...@gmail.com> wrote: >Hi I am note really sure, but you could check out either dependencies >because you can make a dependency with a + no. days, or if these are >recurring tasks then the regenerate option could be used... > >On Sunday, 2 February 2014 23:40:15 UTC+1, FischerPhoto wrote: >> >> Is what I'm asking to do possible with MLO? >> >> On Saturday, February 1, 2014 6:51:48 PM UTC-5, FischerPhoto wrote: >>> >>> for completing subtasks in order I would like the clock of the due >date >>> to start once the previous task is complete. >>> once I complete and check the previous task and the next task is now > >>> active I will have seven days to complete it and I want that due >date to >>> automatically populate. >>> How do I do this? thanks! >>> >>> >>> Scenario >>> I design wedding albums >>> >>> Design Album >>> Subtasks: >>> >>> receive album picks >>> send a proof (7 days) >>> receive changes >>> send proof (7 days) >>> ..... >>> >>> Thanks!! >>> Jon >>> >> -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MyLifeOrganized" group.
