It makes sense to only add the project tasks to the planning elements (activities) once you have set the logical and chronological order and any restrictions. The start and end dates are initially taken from the activity to which the task has been assigned. If the scheduling of the task differs from the start or end date of the activity, you can edit the task in the side panel of the Gantt chart. To do this, select the task and click on the pencil icon to edit the task in the side panel.
You have several options for assigning project-related tasks to the appropriate element in the project schedule (Gantt chart):
If no project tasks exist yet, create new tasks. Proceed as follows:
1. Select the activity or milestone to which you want to assign the new task.
2. Click on the blue button New Task.
3. The new task appears. Give the task a new name, which you can enter directly in the planning list. Alternatively, you can also open the new task (right-click and then click on Edit) and enter the details in the side panel that opens.
NOTE Start and end are initially taken from the activity to which the task was assigned.
