To create dependencies using the Date Check app, you will need a Template and the following columns:

1. Timeline Column
2. Dependency Column – Link your items as you see fit.For example, Item 2 is dependent on Item 1, Item 3 is dependent on Item 2 and so on….
3. Status Column – To be used for the Dependency Types
4. Number column – To be used for Duration
5. Number column – To be used for Adjustment (Lead/Lag)
   Positive Number = Lag
   Negative Number = Lead
6. Person column (optional, if template does not contain a person column)
