#WBS ITASKX 3 CODE#
You can use a unique format for each level of the code, and each level is listed in the code according to the hierarchy of tasks, summary tasks, and subtasks. If your project would benefit from having detailed WBS codes that are made up of specific lengths, sequences, or sets of numbers and letters, you can define a single custom WBS code mask for the project.Īs with outline numbers, each level of a custom WBS code represents an outline level in the task list. If you then outdent that same subtask, the outline number is automatically updated to 3.7. For example, if a subtask currently has an outline number of 3.6.4, and if you move it up one row in the list, the outline number is automatically updated to 3.6.3. They do, however, change automatically when you move a task up or down in the task list and when you indent or outdent tasks. Outline numbers consist of numbers only (no letters) and you can't edit them. If that task has three subtasks, the subtasks are numbered 1.1, 1.2, and 1.3. For example, the first task in your task list is numbered 1. iTaskX automatically calculates an outline number for each task, basing the numbering on the outline structure of the task list.

Outline numbers are the simplest type of WBS coding. There are two types / columns of WBS codes in iTaskX: Work breakdown structure (WBS) codes are alphanumeric codes that identify each task's unique place in the outline structure of your project. Other elements, such as lead time and lag time, task types, resource availability and the driving resource can affect scheduling, so understanding the effects of these elements can help you maintain and adjust your schedule as needed.Create work breakdown structure (WBS) codes If you enter resources, task schedules are further refined according to the following resource information: This doesn't only help you planning project staffing, it can also help you calculate the number of machines needed or the quantity of material to be consumed. You can enter resources in your project and then assign them to tasks to indicate which resource is responsible for completing each assignment. Using this information, iTaskX calculates the start date and finish date for each task.
#WBS ITASKX 3 UPDATE#
If anything about your project changes after you create your schedule, you can update the tasks or resources and iTaskX adjusts the schedule for you.įor each task, you might enter one or all of the following:

A Task-Calendar is especially useful for equipment that runs and completes tasks throughout nights or weekends, which is designated as nonworking time in the Project-Calendar. Tasks are scheduled based on the working times in the Project-Calendar however, you can customize the working times from the Project-Calendar in a Task-Calendar if you have tasks to be completed at different times, especially tasks that are independent of resources. You can adjust Resource-Calendars to indicate nonworking time, such as vacations and leaves of absence. You can also create and assign other Base-Calendars for individual resources or resource groups to indicate specific working hours for example, you can assign a resource to the swing shift or night shift. Use this calendar to change standard work days and organization-wide holidays or days off.įor each resource you enter, iTaskX creates a individual Resource-Calendar based on the settings in the selected Project-Calendar. The calendar used to designate the default work schedule for all tasks in a project. Night Shift (Reflects a graveyard shift schedule of Monday night through Saturday morning, 11:00 PM to 8:00 AM, with an hour off for break).24-Hours (Reflects a schedule with continuous work, such as a mechanical process).Standard (8:00 AM to 5:00 PM weekdays, with an hour off for lunch).

3 base calendars are provided with iTaskX: ITaskX uses the following types of calendars to determine resource availability and the way tasks are scheduled:Ī Base-Calendar is used for the Project-Calendar, Task-Calendars and as template for Resource-Calendars.
