Quick Takeoff (SQL): WBS (Work Breakdown Structures) Values List

Value Lists – You can store a master list of WBS values in your database. These values can be for any of the three WBS code types. This is especially useful for Takeoff WBS codes. Create a value list under Data>WBS Edit Values. To access the list after it is created, go to the WBS Column, the Default Location/WBS icon, or into the WBS field in the Detail window. Right-click and choose Select [WBS] (where WBS is the name of the WBS code for this field.) This gives you a list of database values for this WBS code. Double-click on the value you want returned to the estimate. You can use multiple select (using the Ctrl or Shift Key) to populate your WBS dropdown with values from the list.
