The XML Updates sub-tab available in the Project Card, Task tab, provides a spreadsheet very similar to the Gantt view, with a specific toolbar that provides the following commands:
Export XML | Allows the user to export an XML file based on the selected scenario. | |
Import XML | Prompts the user to select an XML file to import. | |
Update from XML | Allows the user to update MSP or Built-in fields using an XML file. |
XML Scenarios have to be defined by the Administrator in the XML Export Scenarios and XML Update Scenarios Designer views.
The XML Updates spreadsheet displays the following task information: #, Name, Start, Finish, Export to MSP, MSP Start, MSP Finish, and MSP % Completed.
Never use the Renumber Tasks command when running the XML function. The XML function uses the task # field in both system to match the Tasks.
