Example
In the following example, there are three levels in the WBS mask and a global prefix. Level one is of type uppercase characters, level two is numbers, and level three is unordered characters of any length. The table shows the WBS value for example tasks. The user typed the WBS level 3 value. Because GenerateCodes = 1, Project generated the other WBS values. Because a task was deleted and WBS codes must be unique, task T2 has the WBS value Test-AC. The WBS value of the deleted task was Test-AB.
