The length and complexity of many projects require a more detailed way for users to identify critical tasks, but only within a particular hierarchy. Summary path identifies the critical path from a parent row down to all levels of subtasks that roll up to that parent, instead of looking across the entire project.
To enable summary path, right-click on a parent row in a Gantt chart and select Show Summary Path. Smartsheet will calculate the critical, zero-float tasks starting from the first subtask down to the latest end date of any subtask that rolls up to that parent, and outline them.
