Hi Team, Is there a way to use the advanced task dependencies function in Project for web/ Enterprise projects? In the desktop version I could find a way to change the linking type from the default...

Now I am really confused! You will me that you are using Project Online and you have the desktop app installed as well. But have you connected your desktop app (Microsoft Project Professional) to your Project Online system? That is the first step that is required to get these two tools to talk with one another. Then you can do all of your task, resource, and assignment planning in Microsoft Project and publish your project to Project Online. And during task planning, you will have all four dependency types available, as well as Lag time and Lead time. Hope this helps.

The initial post was about Project for the Web, which is a web-based project management tool, and the response from ZsofiH seemed to be related to that. However, the reply you received is talking about Project Online and Microsoft Project Professional, which are separate tools.
Here's the breakdown:
Project for the Web: This is a web-based project management tool that may not have all the advanced features of Microsoft Project Professional. It can be used for managing task dependencies, but the features and interface can change over time. For the most accurate information, you should refer to the most current documentation or consult your organization's administrator.
Project Online and Microsoft Project Professional: These are desktop and web-based project management tools from Microsoft. To use them together, you need to connect your desktop app (Microsoft Project Professional) to your Project Online system. Once connected, you can perform task, resource, and assignment planning in Microsoft Project and then publish your project to Project Online. This setup provides more advanced features, including various dependency types, Lag time, and Lead time.
In summary, if you're using Project for the Web, the first response is relevant. If you're working with Project Online and Microsoft Project Professional, the second response provides guidance on how to set up and use those tools. It's important to use the correct tool based on your project management needs and the capabilities your organization provides.
