Authoring the WBS element outside of the WBS structure
IPP&E supports the bottom-up authoring of the WBS structure. Users can create a WBS element or work package independently (for example, in a folder or under the event or criteria) and then add the element back to WBS structure under the WBS root or the WBS element. If creating the object in a folder, the system searches for the WBS root from the WBS root property; in the case of a criteria, it is automatically filled.
