Viewing Calendar Details

You can view the details of calendars in a Primavera XML file prior to import. If a calendar in the import file matches one in your database, you can compare the definitions of the two calendars to allow you to make an informed decision about whether you want to import the calendar.

To view the details of calendars in an import file:

  1. Click Projects.
  2. On the Projects navigation bar, click EPS.
  3. On the EPS page:
    1. Click the Actions  menu and select Import/Export Projects.
  4. In the Import/Export Project dialog box, select the Import tab.
    1. On the Import tab:
      • In the Import Type list, select Primavera XER.
      • In the File field, click  Browse.
    2. In the File Upload dialog box, select a file and click Open.
    3. Select Manage Templates.
  5. In the Manage Primavera Templates dialog box, select the template you will use to import the file.
  6. In the Primavera Template dialog box, select the Advanced tab.
  7. On the Advanced tab, select the Calendars tab.
  8. On the Calendars tab, in the Details column, select  View Calendar Details for a calendar.
  9. In the Calendar Details dialog box:
    1. On the Summary tab, view a list of the work period start and end times for each day of the standard work week, the time periods, and the base calendar (for project and resource calendars).

      If the calendar exists in the import file and the database, use the Source list to select the version of the calendar you want to view.

    2. On the Calendar tab, view the work and non-work periods on a day-by-day basis.

      If the calendar exists in the import file and the database, use the Source list to select the version of the calendar you want to view.

    3. On the Standard Work Week tab, view a visual representation of the work periods of a standard work week.

      If the calendar exists in the import file and the database, use the Source list to select the version of the calendar you want to view.

    4. On the Exceptions tab, view a list of the exceptions that exist in the calendar. If the calendar exists in both the database and import file, all the exceptions from both versions of the calendar are listed here. You can group the exceptions by:
      • Source: To group the exceptions by whether they exist in the import file, the database, or both.
      • Date: To group the exceptions by month.
      • None: To show the exceptions without grouping.
  10. Select OK.
