Stage Dependency
The Stage Dependency constraint is used to rank stages in a mining order.
In the example below, Stage 10 must be mined completely before Stage 20, and Stage 20 has to be mined completely before Stage 30.
To create a dependency:
-
Click on the stage that should be the preceding one.
-
Click on the white circle that has appeared.
-
Drag the arrow all the way to the circle on the stage that you want to be the dependent one.
-
Release the mouse. The dependency will be created.
The functions provided on the viewer toolbar are: Auto layout diagram,
Size diagram to fit, and
Clear dependencies.
-
To order the stages in your view, click
Auto layout diagram. The stages will be aligned in their precedence order.
-
To place your diagram in the centre of the viewer, click
Size diagram to fit.
-
To remove dependencies, click
Clear dependencies.
Tip! To remove a single dependency link, use left-click + Delete.
