In this article you will learn:
1. What is a project link?
It’s a link that connects two projects to each other
You can connect milestone and task with each other or the project due date from one project can be connected to a milestone in another project
The link always has a direction. So, the link goes from one project to another project
By repeating this, you can link multiple projects to create a structure
2. How do I link my projects?
Access the Link projects dialogue box, which can be accessed clicking the + icon in the project home section, the project three dot menu, or in a task or milestone’s focus card three dot menu
Note: The dialogue is pre-filled and by default uses the corresponding project with its due date as the starting point. You can change the due date to any other task or milestone in the project.
Now, select the project and the exact place where this project should be linked.
Use the swap button to change the direction
By clicking the Link projects button, the link will be drawn from the first task or milestone to the second task or milestone
Anyone who has at least the read right to both projects can link them to each other
