# Work Packages
|
|
|
|
<div class="glossary">
|
|
**Work packages** are items in a project (such as tasks, features, risks, user stories, bugs, change requests). A work package captures important information and can be assigned to project members for execution.
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
Work packages have a **type**, an **ID**, a **subject** and may have various additional attributes, such as **status**, **assignee**, **priority**, **due date**.
|
|
|
|
<div class="glossary">**Work package ID** is defined as a unique integer assigned to a newly created work package. Work package IDs cannot be changed and are numbered across all projects of an OpenProject instance (therefore, the numbering within a project may not be sequential).</div>
|
|
<div class="glossary">
|
|
**Types** are the different items a work package can represent, such as task, feature, bug, phase, milestone. The work package types can be configured in the system administration.
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
Work packages can be displayed in a projects timeline, e.g. as a milestone or a phase. In order to use the work packages, the work package module has to be activated in the project settings.

## Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
|
|
|
|
### How to copy work package hierarchies with their relations?
|
|
|
|
You can create work package templates with hierarchies (parent and child work packages) and copy these templates, inkl. the relations.
|
|
First, navigate to the work package table. Highlight all work packages (in the hierarchy) which you want to copy. **To highlight and edit several work packages at once, keep Ctrl pressed** and select the ones to be copied.
|
|
|
|
**Press a RIGHT mouse click on the highlighted work packages**. This will open the in context menu to edit work packages.
|
|
|
|
Select **Bulk copy** in order to copy all selected work packages including their relations.

### Is it possible to adapt or rename the status list?
|
|
|
|
Yes, this is absolutely possible. To do this, you would first have to [create new statuses](https://docs.openproject.org/system-admin-guide/manage-work-packages/work-package-status/).
|
|
In the second step you can then [assign them to workflows](https://docs.openproject.org/system-admin-guide/manage-work-packages/work-package-workflows/).
|
|
|
|
### Is it possible to create a PDF export for the overview of the work packages with Gantt chart?
|
|
|
|
The export is available via the browser print function (ideally Google Chrome).
