If you have previously created your project plan using Microsoft Project, this can be imported into your Project > List View and Project > Gantt View.
The following data will be imported from Microsoft Project:
Task names
Task dates
Predecessors
Browse to the Microsoft Project© file you wish to import.
Please be aware:
The import feature only supports .mpp files for versions of Microsoft Project up to 2003.
For Microsoft Project© files created beyond, such as Project 2007 or 2010, you must choose the 'Save As' option and select the .XML format.
Resource information will not be imported.
The import process may affect a task's duration if any resources are assigned.
If using the .XML format, the length of a standard working day in Microsoft Project© should match the value entered in the Admin > Company Settings > Working Time section.
Failure to do so can result in a difference of task start and end dates.
For ProjectMinder users:
Click Next.
The project is created.
Note: Projects can also be imported via Admin > Data > Import Data.
