Normally, the Auto-Adjust workflow type
shifts dependent tasks; that is, when
you change the Due Date of a task, the Start
and Due Dates of all of its dependents are
shifted by the same amount of time. This
behavior can be applied to subtasks exactly
the same as it is for top-level tasks. To
include subtasks in this way, be sure to
select Both top-level tasks and
subtasks in your Apply this
workflow to selection (for more,
see Including subtasks in your
workflows).
Alternately, when
setting up an Auto-Adjust Workflow for a
project, you have the option of choosing Treat subtasks
as dependent tasks of their parent.
This option is useful when you want all subtasks in your project to act like
dependents of their parent task. If you
enable it, then instead of having to
explicitly mark all subtasks as dependents
of their parent, Flowsana will treat all
subtasks as if you had marked them all as
dependent; that is, if you change the
Start/Due Date of a task in the project
and that task has subtasks, then the Start
and Due Dates of all of those subtasks
will be shifted the same number of days
that you moved their parent
task.
Note: If
you select this Treat
subtasks as dependent tasks of
their parent option, the Apply this
workflow to selection is
no longer shown as it's not relevant when
using this option.
