Description | Enter a name for the WBS item. |
Code group | Displays the generated code of a WBS item. |
Has conflict | Displays whether the WBS item has a planning conflict. The default value of this field is F (false). If the WBS item has a planning conflict because the constraint of the WBS item conflicts with one or more dependencies, the value of this field automatically changes to T (true). |
Project | Displays the name and code of the linked project. |
Property | If relevant, select a property associated with the WBS item. |
Contract | If relevant, select a contract associated with the WBS item. |

Milestone (Y/N) | Select either Yes or No. Using this option if you want you can view the WBS item as a milestone. |
Percentage completed | Enter the percentage of the WBS item that has been completed so far. |
Constraint start date-time | Use the date picker to enter the start date and time for the WBS item if you want to set a constraint on it. If a project calendar is defined in the system settings, and the time is outside working hours, the constraint start time is automatically adjusted to the nearest start time of the working hours that are defined in the project calendar for the selected date. |
Constraint end date-time | Use the date picker to enter the end date and time for the WBS item if you want to set a constraint on it. If a project calendar is defined in the system settings, and the time is outside working hours, the constraint end time is automatically adjusted to the nearest end time of the working hours that are defined in the project calendar for the selected date. |
Constraint type | Click on the drop-down list to select a constraint type for the constraint start date time or constraint end date time. |
Effort | Use the period picker in this field to enter the WBS item's effort estimate. The effort is always expressed in either minutes, hours, days, weeks or months - based on the working and non-working days and times defined in the project calendar. Note that project planning always takes into account a fixed number of 20 working days for one month's effort, regardless of the number of days in a month. If the effort has been specified for a WBS item, the planned end date-time will be the sum of the Planned start date-time + Effort, considering the project calendar working hours. Note: the date-time is rounded up or rounded down to the nearest minute. |
Calculated start date-time | The calculated start date-time of the WBS item is based on the effort, constraints, dependencies and the project calendar. |
Calculated end date-time | The calculated end date of the WBS item is based on the effort, constraints, dependencies and the project calendar. |
Actual start date-time | Use the date-time picker in this field to enter the WBS item's actual start date-time. |
