Custom WBS Codes

[fxs]

Is there a way to customize my WBS codes?
For example, I want all WBS #1 to show up as #100;
1.1 to show up as 100.1.
i.e.
1 ==> 100
1.1 ==> 100.1
1.2 ==> 100.2
1.2.1 ==> 100.2.1
2 ==> 200
2.1 ==> 200.1

How do I do this?

In general, to set up custom WBS codes you go to "Project" | "WBS" | Define
Code. From there, you can change various WBS settings. However, to set a
unique prefix for Outline Level 1 is a little beyond my understanding. Maybe
someone else in the forum can help out with that.

Otherwise, I would use a custom text field, call it WBS, and then you can
enter anything you like. The only problem with that is you have to manually
update each task or figure our some fancy formula or macro to do the
maintenance for you.

Best of luck!
