Move CWBS Elements

You can move elements up or down in the CWBS hierarchy.

If you move a CWBS element, the summary level planning package, control accounts, and work packages are moved with the CWBS element. You cannot move SLPPs and control accounts to another CWBS element. You can only move CWBS elements.

Example

A parent CWBS element named Housing contains CWBS elements called Foundation and Framing. The elements are split into control accounts which have work packages associated with them. Reorder the CWBS elements to create the parent/child relationships in the CWBS hierarchy.

1. Open the contract.

4. Select the CWBS element to place above or beneath the CWBS element, and do one of the following:
   • Click Insert Before to move the CWBS element above the selection.
