In some situations a user may need to relink a micro task to a new macro task. this may happen due to changes in the construction methodology or because of a mistake. Additionally during schedules updates some tasks may become orphaned. Orphaned tasksneed to be relinked to a new macrotask before continuing.

Selected to relink a micro task. All micro tasks contain the icon in the relinking column allowing you to relink them at any time.

Selected to relink an orphaned micro task.

After the relinking column in the micro task is selected a macro task is needed to relink the micro task too. The same column is used to select the macro task. A different Icon is used to denote a macro task.

Selected to denote the macro task that the micro task is being relinked too.

Chains of micro tasks are always linked together. only a sequential chain can be relinked at a time. a microtask with multiple predecessors or successors cannot be relinked. Predecessors and successors may need to be temporarily removed before relinking a specific chain of tasks.

A Macoschedule is updated either using an XML update or by Column Mapping. for both methods Microtasks update thier durations based on changes to thier associated macro task.

Importing and Updating Schedules provides general information about updating by importing entire schedules provides generaly information about updaing with XMLs.When the macroschedule updated using a new XML or CSV.

Column Mapping provides general information about updating by column mapping in data from XLSX and CSV Spreadsheets.

If an entire schedule is imported to update the macroschedule the gantt chart is automatically fileted filtered to only display tasks associated with changes to all microtasks in the schedule and f. During the session the update is conducted the Show Merge Changes checkbox controls whether this filter is active.

The Show Merge Changes checkbox toggles whether microtasks and associated macrotasks with changes are isolated in the gantt chart.

Column mapping does not enable the Show Merge Changes filter.
