Links

Links define oriented constraints between Tasks, they can be attached to Tasks across Jobs, and multiple Links can affect the same Task.

Each link has the following elements:

• Origin specifies the Task ID of the origin Task
• Destination specifies the Task ID of the destination Task
• Anchor is a floating point value indicating the ratio of the Origin task Duration for the link basis
• Min is the minimal acceptable length for the link
• Max is the maximal acceptable length for the link

An Anchor value of zero will have the Link start from the beginning of the Origin Task, while an Anchor of one will have it start from the end of the Origin Task (so Origin Task StartDate + Duration).

Links always refer to the StartDate of the Destination Task.

A Link with Min equals to Max is a "hard link", and will cause hard-linked Tasks to move together.
