Advanced Task Settings
Advanced Task settings are special task-centric settings. These settings work individually for each task and have to be set manually. Advanced Task settings are mostly similar to Advanced Project settings. The major difference between the two of them is the fact that Advanced Task Settings only affect the task and its subtasks.
Here's how you can access Advanced Task Settings:
Step 1: Click on the View button under the task name

Dependent Task: This allows you to create a task which can be worked on only when a task is completed before it.
For example, a project 'Magazine' which has two tasks 'printing' and 'publishing'. 'Publishing' can be completed only after 'Printing' hence we can make Publishing dependent on Printing.
Here's how a dependent task looks like:
