  1. Start with the first WBS level

    With L1 selected there is one WBS column. Click the all % box in the column header.

  2. Type 100

    Type 100 and press Enter. Every row gets 100% and Row Total turns green. The ALLOCATION counter shows how many items are fully assigned.

  3. Go to the next WBS level

    Click L2 to see the WBS elements of the second level as columns.

  4. Click a cell

    Click the cell where the BOQ item (row) meets the WBS element (column) that it belongs to.

  5. Type the percentage

    Type the percentage, for example 100, and press Enter. The item is now assigned to that WBS element.

  6. Check the total

    The total of each row must be 100%. The Group Total column turns green at 100.0% and stays red if the row is not complete.

    Note: Repeat for every row, then click Save. Do the same on L3.
