The Project Structure consists of:

Parts

Sub Contract Packages

Standard and User-defined Templates means setting up the Project Structure can be done in a matter of minutes and provide consistency across projects.

Whilst the Project Structure is normally set up at the start of a Project it can be added to or amended at any time.
