Modify Segment Definitions

Use segment definitions to control the depth of the CBS hierarchy and how codes are concatenated. The number of segment definitions you create determines the number of hierarchical levels you can have in your CBS. For example, if you only define one segment, then the CBS will be a flat list with one level. If, however, you define two segments, then the CBS can be two levels deep, with some CBS codes nested under the top-level CBS codes.

To modify a segment definition:

  1. In the object selector, select Project, select View Projects List, and then select a project name.
  2. From the Main Menu, select Cost and Funds, and then select Cost Sheet.
  3. On the Cost Sheet page, select the Actions menu, and then select Edit Segment Definitions.
  4. In the Segments dialog box, make any edits, and select Save.
