Can I hide predecessor lines in a gantt chart?

Project User
edited 12/09/19 inSmartsheet Basics

I have a complicated project with tons of predecessors. The predecessor lines connecting tasks in the gantt view are so numerous that is makes the gantt visually hard to use. Is there are way to hide or turn off not the predecessors, but the predecessor lines?

Thanks!

No, that should work as long as the sheet's permissions are okay.<\/p>

As far as copying the rows to the secondary sheet, what I do is just hide the unnecessary columns. Other than that you can just have vlookup or index\/match formulas in the columns on the secondary sheet to pull data from the first sheet.<\/p>"},{"commentID":346950,"body":"

So when you hide the columns on the secondary sheet, they stay hidden even when new rows are coming over.<\/p>

I do this both ways depending on how much data we're talking about.
