Assigning items to a location, alternate, and WBS values

<WBS> columns

This spreadsheet column shows the work breakdown structure (WBS) value to which the item is assigned.

Note: You have multiple spreadsheet columns with this capability.

The column header comes from the Database/Estimate Settings window. You can organize items by WBS in the spreadsheet and when you print estimate reports.

Tips:  

  • You can set up defaults to prefill the WBS values during takeoff or enter them later in the spreadsheet or Detail window.
  • To choose from a list of WBS values from the current estimate, click Down arrow.
  • To choose from a list of WBS values from either the standard database or the estimate, select List <WBS> from the shortcut menu.
  • To set up a WBS value or change an existing one, select Edit <WBS> from the shortcut menu.
  • To enter the same WBS value for a number of items, choose Fill Down on the shortcut menu.
  • Only Takeoff and Detail type (marked with an asterisk) WBS code values allow changes. Item type WBS code values are for display only.
