Exporting Projects using Microsoft Project XML

You can export projects to locations outside of P6 using the Microsoft XML format to share information with Microsoft Project.

To export projects using Microsoft Project XML format:

  1. On the  Navigation Menu, expand  Projects and click EPS.
  2. On the EPS page:
    1. Click the Actions menu and select Import/Export Projects.
    2. In the Import/ExportProject dialog box, click the Export tab.
    3. On the Export tab:
      • In the Export Type list select a Microsoft Project XML file type to export.
      • In the Project field, click  Select and select a project to export.
      • In the Template list select a template to use.

        Note If you need to create a template or modify an existing template, click Manage Templates.

      • Click Export.

Tip

  • You can see the status of the import in the View Service Status dialog box.
  • The software automatically creates a UDF called MSP Activity ID the first time anyone exports a project to Microsoft Project format. This UDF is hidden and cannot be modified. You should avoid creating a UDF with that name.
