Using advanced dependencies in enterprise project types - web version
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.

Our company has MS Project E3 online and we're using a trial for training in creating a project, but we can't see Lag and Lead time options.
We can't install the desktop version either.
Please advise.

- Oceanofgadgets and Mr. Howard explained this is a functionality included in Project, which makes sense, since it was shown in the Project training I'm taking.

The Microsoft Project desktop application includes Lag time and Lead time with task dependencies. The Project for the Web application, which I believe you are using, DOES NOT yet offer Lag time and Lead time. Does that help? Let us know. Thanks!
