Define the WBS code format using the table

Procedure

  1. In Schedule Manager, select the schedule.

  2. Choose Schedule→WBS→Define Format.

    Teamcenter displays the Define WBS Format dialog box.

  3. Use the Define table in the middle of the dialog box to help define the format. Example table layout:

    Level Sequence Length Separator
    1 Number 1 .
    2 Number 1 .
  4. Define the Sequence for each level:

    • Number — displays a numeric WBS code (no support for fractions).
    • Uppercase — shows uppercase alphabetical WBS codes.
    • Lowercase — shows lowercase alphabetical WBS codes.
  5. Define the Length for each level of the WBS code. For example, to show four uppercase characters in the first level, enter 4 in the Length column. The total length of a WBS code can be from 1 to 9 characters.

  6. Define the Separator to separate the WBS code for one level from the next: + (plus), (minus), / (forward slash), . (period).

  7. Click Add to define another level of tasks, or Delete to remove one row/level.

Note: The Example area displays the code based on the levels in the format — a live preview of the WBS codes that can be applied to the schedule tree structure.
