Here’s how to renumber the WBS codes for all tasks or selected tasks:Ĭlick View, and then pick a sheet view (such as the Task Sheet) that contains the tasks you want to renumber. This means that the codes for the remaining tasks will likely be incorrect. When you move or delete tasks, Project doesn’t automatically renumber the WBS codes in case you’re using them in documents or other systems that are not linked to your Project file.
To permit the use of the same WBS code for multiple tasks, uncheck the Verify uniqueness of new WBS codes check box. If you don't want Project to automatically assign a WBS code each time that you enter a new task, uncheck the Generate WBS code for new task check box. To specify individual codes for each level, click the next row, and complete the Sequence, Length, and Separator columns. Set a code string for each level of indented tasks in your outline. Note: The separator character can’t also be used as part of a code. You can choose others or choose not to have a separator character at all. In the Separator column, pick a character to separate the code for one level from the code for the next level. Click Any to allow any number of characters for that level. In the Length column, set the number of characters for each level of the code string. You can choose from numbers, uppercase or lowercase letters, or a mix of numbers, letters, and other symbols. To set the code for first-level tasks, in the first row in the Sequence column, choose a character type from the drop-down list.
You can use numbers, uppercase and lowercase letters, and symbols. You can create a project-specific code in the Project Code Prefix box. In the Properties group, click WBS and then click Define Code. What do you want to do?Ĭlick View, and then pick a sheet view, such as the Task Sheet or Resource Sheet.Ĭlick Project. Project automatically provides basic outline numbers for each task, but you can apply your own customized outline scheme to the project at any time. Work breakdown structure (WBS) codes are outline numbers that you can apply to tasks and edit to match the specific needs of your business.
