Expand and Collapse the Contract Work Breakdown Structure

You can expand and collapse multiple branches of the CWBS hierarchy. Also, view elements that are in multiple branches of the hierarchy. You can see the complete picture of your CWBS, or you can collapse some CWBS elements and expand others.

Expand the Contract Work Breakdown Structure View

You can expand the CWBS root node element to view the top-level branches. Indented CWBS elements are folded one level under the nearest higher-level CWBS element. A plus (+) sign appears in front of the higher-level CWBS element.

Follow these steps:

1. Open the contract.

   The properties page appears.

2. Click Contract WBS.

   The contract WBS page appears, displaying only the top-level CWBS root node element.

3. Click the plus (+) sign next to each CWBS element.

   The higher-level summary element is expanded, and the lower-level elements that are indented beneath it display on the page.

Collapse the Contract Work Breakdown Structure View

The collapsed view helps you to view a small group of CWBS elements (a parent and descendents) alone. To view the CWBS hierarchy in its expanded state in the contract WBS page, click the minus (–) sign next to each summary element. The lower-level CWBS elements collapse under the higher-level summary CWBS element.
