Create a parent-child relationship on the planning console


Create a parent-child relationship on the planning console

You can create a parent-child relationship from the planning console.

About this task

The WBS section of the planning console allows you to create parent-child relationships for new tasks or move around existing tasks in a new parent-child relationship. The position of a task in the hierarchy and the level it is indented determine the parent-child relationship it has with the tasks above or below it.

In this example, the System Readiness Assessment task is a child of the Planning task because it is one level below the Planning task and is indented.
