- Double click on the task bar you wish to create the predecessor type in the chart view area, for example, Level the concrete, task.
The cursor icon will change once you place it over the desired task bar.

- Select the Predecessors tab and click the Add button.
- Click the dropdown arrows from the Predecessor Task Name: and select the predecessor task, for example, Pour the foundation.
- Select Start-to-finish (SF) from the Predecessor Type.
