Task Properties & Sorting in WBS

Introduction

In Easy8’s Work Breakdown Structure (WBS), tasks are displayed in a clear, visual hierarchy. Each task comes with editable properties, and their order can be changed using simple drag-and-drop controls. This article explains how task data is shown and how tasks can be sorted within the WBS module.

  • User

Understanding Task Properties in WBS

Each task in WBS is represented as a visual node within a project tree. Tasks include standard attributes such as:

  • Name
  • Assigned user
  • Start and due date
  • Progress (% done)
  • Priority
  • Estimated time

These attributes can be viewed and edited directly in the WBS map using the inline editing menu. You don’t need to open a separate task window — updates are made right in the structure.

You can also access a quick task editor for more detailed updates, without leaving the WBS view.

How Tasks Are Sorted in WBS

WBS allows you to freely organize your task structure using drag-and-drop. You can:

  • Move tasks above or below others
  • Change task hierarchy (make a task a subtask or vice versa)
  • Rearrange entire sections of the project tree

There is no fixed automatic sorting. Instead, the structure and order are defined entirely by the user. This gives full flexibility to adapt the project layout based on current priorities or workflows.

Summary

WBS in Easy8 offers full control over how tasks are displayed and ordered. Editable properties and manual sorting help users customize the project structure as needed — all from one clear visual interface.
