Adding summary WBS items

Core TSIs : Projects : Working with Projects : Adding summary WBS items

You can create a summary WBS item by adding one or more subitems to a main WBS item.

Procedure

1. Go to Project items.

2. Select the WBS item to which you want to add a subitem.

3. On the action panel, click Add sub. You can add an activity or a milestone.

4. In the data panel, complete the relevant fields. For a description of these fields, see WBS item fields.

5. Specify the mutual dependencies between the WBS items. For more information, see Adding work breakdown dependencies.

It is not possible to create a dependency between a main WBS item and one of its subitems at the lower levels. There can only be dependencies between WBS items that have no hierarchical relationship. It is not possible to create a dependency on a summary WBS item's end date.
