Project Segment Lengths Tab
Use this tab to designate the length of the first segment (level) of the project for all of your Costpoint projects and any additional project segment lengths that you will use in your Costpoint system.
The projects are user-defined and can have multiple levels totaling a maximum of 30 alphanumeric characters (this limit includes the decimal point(s) used to separate each level). The first-segment length is validated for entry of all projects and determines subsequent levels available for the project. You can set up additional levels on a project-by-project basis or on a company-wide basis. Company-wide levels, of course, hold a higher preference than levels set up by individual projects. The additional segments represent the lower levels (second, third, and so forth) of the projects.
The selections made on this screen default to the Project Levels subtask of the Manage Project User Flow screen. On the Manage Project User Flow screen, you can override any segment length, except the first segment.

Length | Enter the length of each segment, or level, in the project. |
Level Name | Enter the description of each level. This is used during report generation to display the name of the level selected for reporting. |
