MASS ADD PROJECT BUDGETS

Use this screen to copy an existing project budget, or range of project budgets, and clone all or various parts (subtasks) of a project budget, or group of budgets, depending on the method chosen. The most common use for this mass add feature is to create a workplan budget from an existing project budget (baseline) or group of project baseline budgets. You can also take an existing workplan budget for a project or group of workplan project budgets and create a new workplan budget(s).

Use this screen after setting up projects.
