The WBS/UBS names you enter in the WBS Names tab are used in many places throughout Viewpoint Estimating.
These names are used as column headers in the tabs in the Manage Estimates screen and many other places where you work with WBS/UBS codes. By default, the WBS/UBS codes are named WBS1 through WBS20 and UBS1 through UBS5. Click Apply to save your changes and continue working.
