Managing Tasks

You can introduce a hierarchy for tasks. This is done using the indent and outdent buttons in the Gantt chart to organize the tasks into a tree structure. This is the work breakdown structure (WBS) for the task plan.

This lets you organize tasks in an outline fashion, with tasks grouped under phases, as subtasks, and so on. A summary task will have all values related to its subtasks rolled-up to the parent (summary) ... durations will span the earliest start and latest finish date for all subtasks. Cost and work values are summarized.

There is no limit to how far a task can be indented/outdented as long as there is one task per level (parent/child).
