A work breakdown structure is used by project managers for defining a project by breaking it down into smaller milestones or deliverables, in a hierarchical manner. Users can then assign these work structures to appropriate line items on an invoice. These structures can provide a valuable link to other management and administrative elements of a project. For example, finance or procurement.

When you click Settings > Workflow > Work Breakdown Structures from the menu, a table that lists all of the Work Breakdown Structures is displayed. The table is empty when no Work Breakdown Structures are defined.

This table has the following columns.

Structure Name

The name of the Work Breakdown Structures.

Description

The following buttons are available to help you maintain the Work Breakdown Structures.

New
