Design element setup

Design elements are used to group like scope into specific coding and associate it to a quantity item. The quantity, hours, and cost can then be rolled up to the design element level to drive decision making information on a project. Design elements are configured in organization settings and are available to all projects in the organization. For more information, see Design elements in organization settings.

You can manage Design elements in the project’s Settings > Design > Quantity forecasting > Design element setup tab. You can select which Design elements are available on the project.

Design elements configured at the organization level are available to all projects in the organization. For more information, see Design elements in organization settings.

When an Account code set is enabled on the project, the Include quantity in the rollup calculation and Available in project options are disabled in the Design elements grid, as the project uses the Design elements tagged to the account codes in the Account code set. For more information, see Account code set in the project’s General settings.
