Dependencies for your Basecamp projects
You've set up a Gantt chart of your Basecamp project using Ganttify and visualized all the ongoing tasks and events.
Now, you want to make sure that when one todo in your Basecamp todo list gets delayed, the start date of another todo moves back as well. It can quickly become a tedious job to manage all these dependencies between tasks, especially when you're working with a team on larger projects.
In Ganttify, you can set dependencies between the time blocks and due dates of your todos and schedule events to make sure everything stays on track, automatically. Here's a short demo video about how this feature works:

Add dependencies in your Basecamp project
When you open up a Gantt chart, you see the ' due dates' and 'time blocks' of your Gantt. Each of these rows represents either a todo or a scheduled event from your Basecamp project. With the new dependencies feature, you can simply right-click on each of these items and choose 'Add dependency' from the context menu.
Once you set up your dependencies, you can easily update your project schedule by dragging a time block or due date left or right in the Gantt chart. If a task gets delayed by moving it in Ganttify, the dependent tasks will automatically reschedule, all the new dates will directly be synchronized to your Basecamp project and everyone stays up to date.
Removing dependencies from Basecamp todos and tasks and cards
If you need to remove a dependency, you can easily do that as well. All you have to do, like most things in Ganttify, is use the right-mouse click. Right-click on the dependency line you wish to remove and left-click on " Remove dependency" from the context menu.
Now, you have learned the basics of creating and removing dependencies.
