As Tasks are being statused and moved along the Plan, you may encounter dependency conflicts, in which Assistive Rescheduling will be helpful.

Instead of manually dragging and dropping dependent Tasks onto new dates, Hoylu will provide you the option to resolve the conflict by moving Tasks for you so they can either be pushed to a later day or pulled to an earlier day.

Admin Settings

Following the same rules of the different Task statuses, only Tasks that are in an Unplanned or Planned state can be moved by Assistive Rescheduling, so if you would like to use this option for Tasks in a Committed state, a Workspace Admin must adjust these settings.

When you need to adjust downstream or successor Tasks due to delays, you can use Assistive Rescheduling to push them down the Timeline. Note that the adjustments you have made to the relationship type (Start-to-Start, Finish-to-Start, etc) and any lag or lead times will affect the movement of those Tasks.
