View: predecessor details
This task view shows details of the predecessors of the tasks using a collection view. In a collection view, you can display information about objects that are in a “one-to-many” relationship. In this case, each task (one) can have multiple predecessors (many). The view displays the name of the tasks, as well as its Predecessors’ Names, Predecessors’ Project Names, Predecessors’ Planned Completion Dates, and Predecessors’ Statuses.
For information about referencing collections in reports, see Reference collections in a report.
