Adding tasks to the timeline

You can create new tasks directly from the timeline. Using your mouse, you can click and draw the area where you would like to place the new task. After that, a modal will open where you can complete the rest of the details of the task.

Creating dependencies

Subtasks are linked to their parent task by a grey line. A blue line between two tasks identifies a dependency between both tasks. To create a dependency, you need to click on the circle at the right edge of a task card and drag the line to the left side of another task. To remove a dependency, double-click on the connector. You can't create dependencies between a task and a subtask.
