In this article, we will help you understand how to view all the activity’s dependencies collectively.

Overview
The dependency view in the Execution Board helps you keep track of all the activities that are dependent on each other in a project. Unlike the dependency view of a card, the dependency view in the Execution board helps to view all the activities’ dependencies collectively.
The card which is dependent on the other card is called the successor and the card on which the other card is dependent is called the predecessor. Dependency between the activities is represented by the dependency link. This link is seen from the predecessor card to the successor card.
Note: The Dependency View is only available for software templates.
Navigation
Navigate to the top breadcrumb, hover over the Project name, expand the Execute module, and select Execution Board.
Create Dependency Link
To create a dependency link between two cards, draw a line from the predecessor to the successor card.
Remove Dependency Link
To remove a dependency link between cards, click the link (which you want to delete). Click the Remove Dependency icon.
Highlight All Interdependent Cards
A subnet (neighborhood) is a set of cards on the board that has dependencies among themselves. On creating dependency links between two or more cards, a subnet is formed.
Clicking the Highlight All Interdependent Cards icon highlights all the cards of the subnet and defocuses the rest cards.
Highlight Direct Dependent Cards
Highlight Direct Dependent Cards icon highlights the cards that are linked to the cards of the current Link and defocus the rest cards.
