Setting up a new project's work breakdown structure used to mean adding rows one by one; now planners can paste in a whole batch of WBS items at once, confirm how many rows were imported, and move straight into scheduling. Each WBS item carries a priority and a lead time in days, and both are now checked as you enter them, so an out-of-range value gets flagged immediately rather than surfacing as a scheduling problem later. Together, these changes cut the manual effort of project setup and give planners more confidence that the plan they hand off is correct from the outset.

Bulk WBS creation with priority and lead-time validation

Instead of creating work breakdown structure items one at a time, planners can now open a dedicated bulk-create screen, enter a title and header information, and paste in several rows of data at once. The screen shows help text while you paste and confirms how many rows were successfully imported, so you can check the results before creating them all in a single action. Each WBS item also supports a priority setting with its own editor view, and both priority and lead time in days are now validated: if a value you enter is incorrect, a message appears straight away, before the error can carry through into your schedule.

  • Paste multiple WBS rows into a single screen instead of adding them one by one
  • See a confirmation of how many rows were imported before finalising
  • Create all pasted rows in a single action, speeding up project setup
  • Set the priority for each WBS item through a dedicated editor view
  • Get an immediate message if priority or lead time (in days) is entered incorrectly

What changes for you

If you plan projects, setting up the WBS becomes much faster: you can paste data straight from a spreadsheet or another system instead of creating each row individually.

Validation on priority and lead time flags an incorrect value immediately, so you can fix it before it affects downstream scheduling.

02

Why it matters

Less time spent on manual entry means you can start more projects in the same amount of time, with less risk of transcription errors.

Correct plans from the outset reduce surprises during project execution, because priority and lead time are right before the project even begins.
