Identify Driving Relationships on Canvas

Quickly identify which relationships are driving and which are on the critical path directly from the Canvas.

Updated over 3 weeks ago

Latest Update 3-11-2026

You can click on any activity, task, or milestone in Canvas to instantly see which connected relationships are driving — and which are both driving and critical. This makes it easier to understand schedule impact at a glance without toggling between views.

View Driving & Critical Relationships

  1. Navigate to the Canvas view and click on any activity, task, or milestone.

  1. Review the highlighted relationships connected to the selected item:

    • Driving relationships will be visually identified.

    • Relationships that are both driving and critical will also be indicated.

    • Non-driving relationships will remain unhighlighted.

What This Means

  • Driving relationships directly impact the successor’s start or finish date.

  • Driving + critical relationships both drive the successor and fall along the project’s critical path.

  • This interaction allows you to quickly assess schedule risk and impact without leaving Canvas.
