Default WBS numbering 100>101,102,103

How can I set up WBS numbering as below in microsoft project?



100 One type of test
> 101 test 1
> 102 test 2
> 103 test 3
> 104 test 4
200 Another type of test
> 201 test 5
> 202 test 6
> 203 test 7
> > 203.1 (First bit of test 7)

All I can work out how to do so far is:

100
> 100.1
> 100.2
> 100.3 etc...

Hello bluphoto,

Sorry, I don't think you're going to be able to accomplish this using the standard WBS field. The requirements are that subtasks inherit the parent information -- even if you set it to "Characters - unordered".

Would using a text field and renaming it WBS do what you need? You'd then need to manually enter the codes for each task -- but you could get exactly what you want.

Yes, the text fiels would do what I need, but then someone is bound to enter another test between tests 3 & 4 meaning I have to renumber tests 4 to whatever (which is likely dozens of tests).

I think it'd be simpler to renumber my folder structure to match my priject file, rather than the project file to the folder structure.

Hi bluphoto,

Sorry, I don't quite understand your comment about "folder structure". Can you explain more why you need the numbering scheme and perhaps we can come up with an alternative.
