Master of the Sub-Item Name

When a WBS element becomes mapped to a sub-item, each receives the same internal ID. This makes this mapping permanent such that the subsequent renaming of the sub-item in PPM or its corresponding WBS element in P6 will not break this mapping.

The sub-item name defined by default found on the sub-items mode defaults step of the Bridge Server Settings Wizard defines, per server, whether the names of the sub-items and their corresponding WBSs name are controlled by PPM or by P6. When P6 controls the naming, if a WBS element already mapped to a sub-item is renamed, the sub-item’s name will change to that of the corresponding WBS element when this sub-item is updated. This feature preserves the identity of the names of the sub-items and their corresponding WBS elements even when changed in one of the applications.
