Definition

Mask for creating a short ID for WBS elements.

Use

The short ID enables you to find WBS elements by a short string, or to display WBS elements in lists. Once you have defined a short ID for the WBS element, the system will propose it and you can change it, if necessary.

Select the characters that you want to be included in the short ID from the WBS identifier with a + in the field Mask short ID in the project definition.

Notes

If you have not defined a short ID for the WBS element, the system automatically uses the first 16 characters in the WBS element identifier as the short ID.

Examples

Mask short ID................ + + ++
WBS element identifier.......1234567890
Short ID of the WBS element..2690

In the project definition you mark the second, sixth, ninth and tenth positions in the field Mask Short ID with a +.

You create a WBS element with the identifier 1234567890.

The system uses the characters 2690 as the short ID for this WBS element

Procedure

  • Mark the positions that you want to have included in the short ID of theWBS element with a + in the mask.
  • You can mark up to 16 positions.
