WBS Vertex42: Work Breakdown Structure Level 1: 1, 2, 3, … Level 2: 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, … Level 3: 1.1.1, 1.1.2, 1.1.3, … The WBS uses a formula to control the numbering, but the formulas are different for different levels. |
Task Vertex42: Task Enter the name of each task and sub-task. Use indents for sub-tasks. |
Lead Vertex42: Task Lead Enter the name of the Task Lead in this column. |
Prede cessor Vertex42: Predecessor Tasks: You can use this column to enter the WBS of a predecessor for reference. The PRO version includes template rows that allow you to automatically calculate the Start Date based on the Predecessor. |
Start Vertex42: Task Start Date You can manually enter the Start Date for each task or use a formula to create a dependency on a Predecessor. For example, you could enter =enddate+1 to set the Start date to the next calendar day, or =WORKDAY(enddate,1) to set the Start date to the next work day (excluding weekends), where enddate is the cell reference for the End date of the Predecessor task. |
End | Cal. Days Vertex42: Duration (Calendar Days) The duration is the number of calendar days for the given task. The duration is calculated as the End Date minus the Start Date plus 1 day, so that a task starting and ending on the same day has a duration of 1 day. Note: The conditional formatting used to create the gantt chart references this column. |
% Done Vertex42: Percent Complete Update the status of this task by entering the percent complete (between 0% and 100%). |
Work Days Vertex42: Work Days Counts the number of work days, excluding the weekends (Saturday and Sunday). In the PRO version, you can customize the work week and list specific non-working days like holidays. In the PRO version, the default input is the Work Days instead of the Calendar Days. |
