Links to activities that can start only after the activity in the primary field is completed (successors).Once you've added the linked record field, you can use it to contain either: Otherwise, you can create a new self-linking linked record field using the instructions above. If you already have a single line text field or other field containing successors or predecessors, you can convert this existing field into a self-linking linked record field. Then, select the "Link to another record" option, and select the same table that you're creating the field in. To create this type of linked record field, start by clicking the plus button to the right of your existing fields. In order to create this relationship, you need a linked record field that links to its own table rather than to another table ( a "self-linking" record field). The base of the arrow comes out of the record that needs to be completed first (the predecessor) and points toward the record that can only be started after the predecessor is completed (the successor). The arrow reflects the direction of the dependency. You can visualize these dependent relationships between different tasks with arrows (called dependencies) connecting the different bars in the Gantt chart. For example, you need to finish making a presentation deck before you give a presentation. In some cases, a project plan or schedule will require that activities be performed in a certain order. This will automatically create a record with no start date and an end date based on the chart’s current scroll position.

Milestones can be created just like any other record in an Airtable view, but you can also use the “Add milestone” button in the left-hand sidebar of the Gantt chart. To enable this feature, turn on the “Use milestones” setting in the Gantt view. Like tasks, they can have dependencies and record coloring. Milestones are represented in the Gantt chart as diamonds with vertical lines.

Milestones currently only support date fields, and aren't yet compatible with formulas that produce a date (e.g.
