Here we can select how the sequence starts, such as with numbers or uppercase letters, the length at which the sequence would repeat, and the separator used before the next code level.

Each time we modify the code, the preview at the bottom of the dialogue will update to show us how this will appear in the schedule.ДЄfter setting the Prefix, the next option is to set up how each coding level will appear. For example, we can enter the name or project or even the lead manager. For the prefix, users can enter a number, letter, or entire words. Here we can modify items such as the WBS Code Prefix: which will appear before the first displayed number in the WBS coding. This will open the format Work Breakdown Structure dialogue. To do this double click on the WBS column header, then select the Display tab and the Format WBSвЂ¦ option. Now that we can visualize the WBS coding, letвЂ™s take a look at how we can modify the display. The first value вЂњ2вЂќ indicates that this falls within the second group within the first outline, the second вЂњ2вЂќ indicates that it is the second heading within the second group, and finally the вЂњ4вЂќ represents that it is the fourth task in that outline location. Since there are 3 digits this represents that it falls on the third outline level. For example, when we look at the task вЂњProduct ScopeвЂќ we see the value 2.2.4. As we can see, the WBS helps to easily identify the hierarchy level of each task in the project. To view the WBS coding in FastTrack we can simply add the column into our schedule by going to Insert > Column > WBS. However it is possible to add or even modify how the WBS coding will be displayed in a project. Normally when we view a schedule, as we see below, we only see a simple Row Number that is displayed to indicate the order of the activities. This allows users to easily identify the outline and order of tasks by viewing simply the code displayed. The WBS coding will automatically number activities in a sequential order according to the hierarchy of those tasks. Even though FastTrack does not have a graphical display of the WBS it is still possible to view and utilize the WBS coding that is assigned to each activity throughout the schedule. Normally, the WBS displays the hierarchical breakdown of the project according to its phases or deliverables. While FastTrack Schedule 10 can display a detailed Gantt chart of everything that happens within a project, one graphical view that is not displayed is the Work Breakdown Structure or WBS.
