Information items

With the Information item function you can insert information items to the work breakdown structure. The following types of information items can be inserted: Info, Remark, Request, Directive, Demand.

Information items can be included in PDF reports that are generated from document items. The information items must be child items of the document item in that case. See Document items for more information on document items.

Once inserted, information items can be moved in the tree structure by dragging.
