Insert a blank task line, e.g. by pressing F4 or by clicking on the  Insert button in the menu bar or on the same icon directly below the header bar.

  • Enter a task name in the Task name field.
  • Create further tasks in the same way.
  • Save and click on the Generate WBS code button. As a result, an ID will automatically be generated for the new task in the Task field. In PLANTA standard, the WBS codes are used as task IDs in schedules. 

Tasks in PLANTA project have two IDs:

  • A technical task ID is automatically created. It is an incrmenting task number which is usually invisible in user modules in the PLANTA standard system.
  • A functional task ID is either generated automatically or allocated manually.
    • Via the global Use WBS code instead of ID parameter you can define which of these three variants will be used as functional ID. This will then apply system wide to all user modules in which tasks are displayed.
