Use the Work Breakdown Structure screen to define a work breakdown structure (WBS) by adding mass types and sub-WBS codes and their properties. A WBS is a hierarchical structure for organizing a project. A WBS can, for example, reflect cost structures, locations, work processes, and/or building/construction elements.

Note: A WBS can be imported in an XML file from other applications via the XML Data (XML) import format. For details, see the Import and Export Data chapter.
Note: Each activity can be assigned to one WBS line in the Object Properties pane > Details tab. The activity - WBS relationship can also be imported with activities.
Note: A report that uses the WBS is Grouping a Gantt Chart by Work Breakdown Structure. Then all performance data is summarized on WBS levels too.
