<title>Configuring the Work Breakdown Structure (WBS)</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>The <link linkend="wbs">Work Breakdown Structure</link> introduces
|
|
numbering for all tasks in the
|
|
project, according to the task structure. The tasks are numbered in a fashion
|
|
that reflects the structure of the project.
|
|
The WBS is defined as a tree structure.

<para>Instead of having the same code for all levels (for example 3.2.1)

you can define a different code for each level. For this you can check

<guilabel>Use Levels</guilabel> and then you define each level code and
|
|
separator.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>For example if you want your tree to be 1:II-B you will set
|
|
level 0 to Number and separator :, level 1 will be Roman upper case and

|
separator - and level 2 will be Letter upper case.</para>
