Add Subtasks

You can add sub-tasks to parents at any level in the hierarchy of the WBS-based schedule and set their timelines in alignment with the respective parents. The subtasks are numbered with the next outline level of the parent task.

To add a sub-task

• Navigate to the schedule interface. The 'Grid' view opens by default. 
• Click 'Grid' on the left to return to the grid view if you are on some other screen in the schedule menu.

The example shown below is the master schedule accessed by the GC. The subcontractors access the contractor schedule interface.

• Right-click on the parent task and choose 'Add' > 'Add Sub Task'

A new row gets added at one level lower than the parent task.

• Enter the details for the subtask. See Add or Edit WBS elements and task items to learn more.
• Repeat the process to add more subtasks.
• Estimates - Contractors can add tasks, subtasks, and activity items for which the labor and cost (material cost, labor cost, equipment cost, external subcontractor cost, overheads, etc.) are to be tracked from their project estimate. The task code, task name, and man-hours are auto-filled when adding an item from the estimate. You can edit the task name and the manhours for the item. The allotted man-hours are deducted from the total man-hours specified for the item in the estimate. The remaining hours will be available for adding the same task/activity for different parent-level items. See Add tasks from estimates for more details.

Enter the values for each item as shown below:

Note: The auto-save feature of the scheduler saves the values you enter for each item
