Configuring CPP Templates

Configure CPP templates to define data exchange options for exporting to CPP format.

To configure CPP templates:

2. On the EPS page:
   1. Click the Actions menu and select Import/Export Projects.
   2. In the Import/Export Projects dialog box, click the Export tab.
   3. On the Export tab:
      • Select DOD - CPP from the Export Type list.
      • Select a project.
      • Click Manage Templates.
   4. In the Manage CPP Templates dialog box:
      • Select a template or click Add to create a new template or Import Template to import a template.

        Note:

        To export a CPP template, select Context and select Export.

   5. In the CPP Template dialog box:
      • Configure the lists, options, and fields on each tab.

        Note:

        To export the full path of a code value (that is the path to a code value's place in its hierarchy), in the code value picker, mark the Include code value path option. When this option is selected, each hierarchical level of the path to the code value is separated with a dot. For example, ENG.Elec.Micro.Interface.

      • Click Save.

        Note:

        Once data is exported from P6 into another project management tool, dates, durations and other data may no longer reflect those in P6 if the other project management tool recalculates this data.
