Contents

Field	Description
Work Package	Use this field to enter a name for the new work package. If you assigned a code file to the work package field when you created the project in the New Project wizard, click to display the Code Lookup dialog box. Use this dialog box to select a work package from an existing code file.
Description	Use this field to enter a brief description of the new work package.
Dates	Use this group box to modify the work package dates.
Baseline	Click the drop-down buttons in the Start and Finish columns to display a calendar, where you can select the baseline start and finish dates for the work package. You can only select a baseline start date that falls on or after the first date of the calendar used in the project. You cannot select a baseline finish date that falls after the last date of the calendar used in the project.
Pending	Click the drop-down buttons in the Start and Finish columns to display a calendar, where you can select the pending start and finish dates for the work package. When you create a new work package, the Pending start and finish dates are the same as the baseline start date of the work package by default.
Progress Technique	Select the progress technique that you want to use for the work package. By default, Level of Effort is selected.
Work Package code assignments	Use this grid to assign codes to the work package. The code assignments are based on code values that exist in the control account code files attached to the nine fields on the Work Package Codes tab of the Fields tab of the Project Properties dialog box. You can only define code assignments for the work package if you specified that codes will be used for that work package on the Fields page of the New Project wizard when you were creating the project or on the Fields tab of the Project Properties dialog box after you created the project.
