![]() Successors Highlighting This will highlight successors of a selected task. To further clarify should ‘Choose Bathroom Set’ take longer than planned eliminating the “lag” between the two tasks ‘Choose Bathroom Set’ would then become a “Driving Predecessor” as below: As you can see ‘Choose Bathroom Set’ is clearly a predecessor, however because its’ completion date is not “critical” to ‘Paint bathroom’ there is a lag before ‘Paint bathroom’ is scheduled to start. So to do this, I will link the task ‘Paint bathroom’ to ‘Choose Bathroom Set’ making ‘Choose Bathroom Set’ a predecessor. To explain we might what to match the paint that we buy, with the color of the bathroom set. Note: The Task ‘Pull up old carpet’ is not highlighted as ‘Clean Bathroom’ and indeed no tasks are dependent on ‘Pull up old carpet’ as this can be done at any time after the Milestone ‘Date for Work Set’ is complete.ĭriving Predecessors Highlighting Similar to ‘Predecessors’ highlighting, ‘Driving Predecessors’ highlighting will highlight just the predecessor tasks that directly affect a selected Task. With ‘Predecessor’ highlighting switched on you can see all the tasks that are a predecessor of the task highlighted in light yellow. In this Example I have selected ‘Clean Bathroom’. You would then click on the task name of the Task in which you want to see the ‘Predecessors’. How do the different types of Highlighting work? Predecessors Highlighting To use this function you would first select ‘Predecessors’ highlighting from the ‘Bar Styles‘ section from the ‘Format’ ribbon. ![]() There are 4 types of Task Path Highlighting (As Below) ![]() It’s a similar concept to the ‘Change Highlighting’ that was introduced in Project 2010. The benefit of this feature is that it allows you to, at a glance, see which tasks will be affected prior to making changes to your schedule. This allows you to see how the selected task fits into the overall project. This feature highlights tasks that are linked to a selected task. It is called the ‘Highlight Task Path Feature’. The Highlight Task Path Feature One of the most obvious new features to Project 13 is located in the ‘Format’ Ribbon. This is the first in a series of Blogs that will briefly cover some of the new features of Microsoft’s latest release of Project Project 2013.
