<title>Configuring the Work Breakdown Structure (WBS)</title>
<para>The <link linkend="wbs">Work Breakdown Structure</link> introduces
numbering for all tasks in the
project, according to the task structure. The tasks are numbered in a fashion
that reflects the structure of the project.
The WBS is defined as a tree structure.

<para>You can configure the way you want the WBS to look in your project. To do
so, you can use the <menuchoice>
<guimenu>Tools</guimenu><guimenuitem>Define WBS Pattern...
</guimenuitem></menuchoice> menu. This displays the <guilabel>WBS Definition</guilabel> Dialog.

code to be Roman Numbers or Letters, either upper case or
lower case.</para></listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><guilabel>Separator</guilabel></term>
<listitem><para>The default separator is a dot and can be set
to anything else you want. The separator defines the way the
tree will look. On the screenshot above, the separator is the
dot.</para></listitem>
</varlistentry>
</variablelist>
<para>Instead of having the same code for all levels (for example 3.2.1)
you can define a different code for each level. For this you can check
<guilabel>Use Levels</guilabel> and then you define each level code and
separator.</para>
<para>For example if you want your tree to be 1:II-B you will set
level 0 to Number and separator :, level 1 will be Roman upper case and
separator - and level 2 will be Letter upper case.</para>
<para>This is illustrated on the next screenshot.</para>

<para>To set a new level, choose the level number in the box near the

separator.</para>

<para>To remove a level, choose the level number in the first column of the
list and click on it. The level row is then highlighted and the level number
changes to bold. Then click the <guibutton>Remove</guibutton> button. This is
demonstrated on the screenshot with Level 2.</para>
