Maintaining the OBS

Editing OBS Departments

To change information for an existing OBS department, complete the following steps:

1. Click on the department in the OBS Grid.

2. If necessary, use the Horizontal Scroll Bar to show the desired field to be changed. If a field you need is not displayed, use Column Hide on the Format menu to change the displayed fields.

3. Change the data in one or more editable fields in the current row. Press the Tab or arrow keys to continue editing other fields or rows.

4. If attempting to edit a required field (Department or Parent Department fields), you must first put the cell into Edit Mode by double-clicking the cell box.

Deleting OBS Data

To delete the data in an OBS cell, complete the following steps:

1. To select the data to be deleted, click in the cell(s).

2. Press the Delete key or click Edit » Delete. MPM erases the data in the selected cell(s).

You cannot delete the data from the Department or Parent Department fields since these are required fields.

Deleting OBS Departments

To delete an entire OBS Department, complete the following steps:

1. Highlight the entire department row by clicking the row number.

2. Press the Delete key or click Edit » Delete. MPM prompts for confirmation.

To delete more than one OBS department at one time, complete the following steps:

1. Highlight the desired departments using the Shift or Ctrl keys when clicking the row number, or by clicking the mouse button and dragging it downward.

2. Press the Delete key or click Edit » Delete.

3. MPM prompts for confirmation.

If the project data includes estimates that were assigned to the deleted OBS, you must edit those estimates in Integrated Planning and select another OBS department.
