In the Planner application, there are three types of linksrelationships:

Type of Link

Description

How to Use

Parent-Child

  • Targets become dependent on each other, and a period of a parent target includes periods of all child targets.

  • The change of a child target's period leads to a change in a parent target's period.

  • A target can have only 1 parent at the moment

  • To set a parent, use “Contributes to” field.

Info

Please, pay attention, that multiple values are available in “Contributes to” field. But you can choose as a parent only 1 target. It will inherit progress & period from the child targets. Other targets in the field will be just linked without any time-dependency.

  • To set a child, use “Includes” table

Dependencies (Start/Finish) 

  • Targets are dependent in start/finish. See 2.1.1 Dependencies (Start/Finish)

Contribution

  • Targets are independent (just linked).

  • A change in Connect one target doesn't lead to a change in the other connected targets.

This type shows that the work for achieving common results is performed in the same area

  • to another via Gantt Chart

  • or add a Dependency via Time Dependency table in Full View

2.1 Parent-Child

...

Constraints of the parent-child relationship:

  • An Objective target cannot have a parent target. Only Key Results can be children to an Objective.

  • A Key Result target cannot have child targets.

  • Initiatives can have as many nested levels of targets as you need. Each parent target inherits the progress of child targets.

...

Info

When you move a target that has any time dependencies, the system moves linked targets to save the correct time dependency.

2.2 Contribution

2.2.1 Contributes To

“Contributes To” type of relationship shows that the target you try to link with others, contributes to the result of another target(s).
