Create and apply estimating rules when you want estimates to be calculated in a specific way. For example, you can create an estimating rule for a group of tasks that considers the budgeted cost of the tasks in the estimate.
You must create estimating rules at the task level, and you can only run the rules for the tasks for which they were created. For example, if you create a rule at the phase level for a phase containing two subordinate tasks, this rule is applied to all of the tasks in the phase. If you create the rule at the subordinate task level, you can only run the rule for that task.
Though you can create multiple rules for the same task, only one can serve as the default rule. You can run any rule from any page on which it exists at any time. All rules except default rules require executing conditions.
