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 macro task 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. | |||||||

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

Sometimes tasks are deleted when a schedule update is made. This means that there are macro tasks in Fuzor that do not exist in the updated XML. When Using Merge By ID there is an option to delete tasks with assigned objects. macro tasks that have no objects assigned will always be deleted if not included in the XML update. | |||||||
When a macro task is deleted the user is prompted to decide whether they would like micro tasks with deleted macro task to automatically relink to another macro task with the closest date or if they would like to manually relink micro tasks back to the macro schedule. |  | ||||||
If manually relinking is desired any micro tasks that are children of deleted macro tasks will become orphaned. Orphaned micro tasks always appear at the top of the gantt chart. In order to continue working the micro tasks need to be remapped to new macro tasks. The relinking column is used for to remap the micro task to a new macro task. | |||||||
