Parent-child relation between Activities

[Former Member]

Hello,

Is it possible to give parent child relationship between Activities within single Project? The requirement is, parent Activity to take part in overall scheduling whereas the Dates for parent Activity are determined by the child Activities attached to it.

Thank you,

Hemant

Hi,

In PS we can map through the network activity and activity elemnents. For scheduling the projects the start date and end date of all the activity elements are included in the respective network activity. for better understanding refer the following link.

Hello Hemant,

There is no parent child relationship in PS. For your scenario you can use Activity elements or sub network concept. The main activity will carry the overall dates and that can be passed to activity elemnts or subnetwork activities. In case of subnetwork the control key of main activity will change and become irrelevantfor scheduling and costing, and sub network activities will be considered for scheduling and costing. The start and end date on such activities will be guided by dates on main activity.
