About Microsoft Project Import/Export Data Map Guide (XML)
This guide details how data is mapped between P6 EPPM and Microsoft Project XML format. Throughout this guide, the term P6 EPPM includes P6 Professional. Any content that applies to only one of these applications is labeled accordingly.
All users who want to exchange data between various formats should use this document.
Notes:
- All project-level calendars and any global calendars assigned to activities are exported to Microsoft Project as Working Time Calendars.
Working Time Calendars in Microsoft Project are imported into P6 EPPM as project-level calendars. - Calendars assigned to resources are exported to Microsoft Project as Resource Working Time Calendars.
Resource Working Time calendars in Microsoft Project are imported into P6 EPPM as resource-level calendars. - P6 EPPM and P6 Professional use different data structures from Microsoft Project, so some information may be lost during the import and export process. Also P6 EPPM and P6 Professional use slightly different calculations for units and costs from Microsoft Project, so these values might not be identical when a project is imported or exported to Microsoft Projects. Refer to the P6 EPPM Importing and Exporting Guide for further considerations.
Caution: Personal information (PI) may be at risk of exposure. Depending on local data protection laws organizations may be responsible for mitigating any risk of exposure.
