Viewing a task's complete chain of linked successor tasks

You can display the complete chain of linked successor tasks that lead from a task to the latest task(s) in the chain(s), by displaying the current view in 'path from task' mode. When displaying the current view in this mode, you can choose to include all linked successor tasks, or only those that are linked by driving links - ie links that 'drive' the tasks at the end of them.

To display the current view in 'path from task' mode:

Select the task whose successors you want to view.
Click the View dropdown in the View group on the Home tab, then select Path from Task. The Path to/from Task Options dialog appears.
Specify whether you want to include all tasks, or only those that are linked by driving links, then click OK. The current view is toggled into 'path from task' mode.

Note that you cannot display the current view in 'path from task' mode if it is currently displayed in 'jagged progress' mode.

Select the Path from Task command again to toggle the current view out of 'path from task' mode and back into normal mode.
