# Predecessor dependencies in the planning console

# Predecessor dependencies in the planning console {#ariaid-title1}

In the WBS section of the planning console, you can create dependencies between tasks
by specifying a series of values.
The Predecessor column on the planning console can specify dependencies between tasks. The values that you put in this column must be in the following format:

`{WBS_number}{dependency_type}+{lag_time}`  
Where

* `WBS_number` is the number of the predecessor task in the relationship.
* `dependency_type` is one of the [types of dependencies](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/QLtCHncIxoq2XWyqFjFQtA "Date changes, stage changes, and value calculations roll up from child tasks to parent tasks.") that the application supports.
* `lag_time` is the amount of time, in days, to delay the start of the dependent task. This value can be positive or negative integers.
{#r_ProjectTaskDependencyValues__ul_btr_y2b_ms}

The values are entered without the curly braces {}. See the examples in the
table.  
Nota:  
You can also edit tasks from the Gantt chart by clicking the relationship line. See [Gantt chart options](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/~NZo5a0Sm2BuKjINrPr9VQ "Use the Gantt chart to quickly change task attributes, such as start and end time, rather than opening every Task form and modifying field values one by one.") and [Modify a project task dependency](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/kgQcFtSZltsqffHtII57gw "Modify a dependency when editing the tasks that are linked in the dependency, the dependency type, or the lag time.") for details. {#r_ProjectTaskDependencyValues__table_a34_42b_ms__entry__3}

| Dependency type | Example | Additional information |
|-|-|-|
| Finish to start | 1.1fs+0 | The task you are editing starts when task 1.1 is finished. |
| Start to start | 1.1ss+0 | Task 1.1 cannot finish until the task you are editing finishes. |
| Start to finish | 1.1sf+0 | Task 1.1 cannot start until the task you are editing finishes. |
| Finish to finish | 1.1ff+0 | The task you are editing cannot finish until task 1.1 finishes. |
