Plan Level Fields

You use Plan Level fields withWBS Element fields on the Default WBS Mapping dialog box to establish how data summarizes in your work breakdown structure.

The system defaults are as follows:

WBS Element	Plan Level
Project	1
Phase	2
Task	3
Labor Code	4

You may specify more than three levels in the WBS. However, if you do you will still only be able to map the first three levels to the WBS levels in accounting.

A WBS element at a higher level summarizes data from the level below it. Thus, using the default project-phase-task levels would mean that task data rolls up to the phase level and that phase data, in turn, summarizes at the project level.

On the grids throughout Project Planning, you can use the Indent and Outdent buttons to change an element's level.
