Assign an Activity to a WBS

All activities must be assigned to a WBS. Assign activities to a WBS to group work by level, phase, or layer. In scope management, you cannot assign activities to work packages or scope assignments unless the activity is assigned to the WBS that contains the component. If a specific WBS node is not selected when an activity is created, the activity is assigned to the project-level WBS node by default.

To assign an activity to a WBS:

1. Navigate to the Activities page
   1. In the object selector, select ﱆ Project or  Program, and then select a project or a program from the list.
   2. From the  Main Menu, select  Schedule, and then select Activities.
2. In the table, select the activity.
3. On the Layout menu, select  Activity Details, and then select the General detail window.
4. In the WBS Name field, select a WBS.
5. All changes made to this page are saved automatically.

Tips

• From the Activities page or WBS page, you can copy WBS nodes from a project template or another project to your current project. See Add a WBS from a Template or Other Project for more information.
• On the Program Activities page, you can assign an activity to a WBS in a different project. This action will move the activity and its data to the destination project.
• An alternative method of assigning activities to a WBS is by applying a view to the page that groups activities by WBS and entering activity data under the appropriate grouping. All activities entered under a WBS grouping are automatically assigned to the WBS.
