Working with WBS Categories
Use the WBS Categories page to define custom work breakdown structure (WBS) categories. Categories are not project-specific; you can assign them to any WBS elements in the EPS. WBS categories help reflect your organization's terminology and unique requirements. You can also use categories to group, sort, and filter WBS elements.
