Can I link tasks and milestones using the WPL

Andrew, 

Yes, it is possible to upload Milestones and Tasks along with the Project data. Here is the URL to our documentation that contains examples...

Thank you, but that wasn't my question.

I have altready know how to load the tasks and milestones. I want to know ho I link them together during the upload process, i.e. how do I set up dependencies between the tasks.

Maybe it can't be done and I have to manually set up the dependencies in the web interface after the tasks have been loaded?

Hi Andrew,

Yes, this is possible. Use the "DependencyLink" item type when selecting Item Type in the 'Upload Data' screen.

Thanks, the documentation seems a bit sparse in this area.

It sounds like I have to link the tasks after I have created them. I found a list of DependencyLink fields here: http://usermanual.clarizen.com/clarizen-fields. I think I understand this, but an example file would help.

For the WorkItem and DependsOn fields I have to specify which tasks are to be linked. How do I identify them? I assume its some kind of ID? If I've just upload a WBS with lots of tasks and milestones, how do I extract their ID's so I can link them in the DependencyLink file?

Thanks
