Microsoft Project Import FAQs

You can use i-lign's Microsoft® Project import facility to load project schedule information (tasks, milestones, dependencies, resource allocations) from a Microsoft Project file into an i-lign project.

Can an i-lign schedule be exported to Microsoft Project ?

The export will output the i-lign schedule data (tasks, milestones, constraints, and resource allocations) in an .xml format that can be read by MS Project 2002 and above.

Importing XML file problems

Schedules that are exported to XML and then re-imported without saving them in MS Project will not be imported correctly.

Clearing your Java cache

If the Gantt chart does not work properly, try clearing your Java cache.

MS Project importing and exporting in active projects

Avoid creating a schedule in Microsoft Project, importing and updating it in i-lign, then exporting to Microsoft Project and then repeating the process.

Can I allocate a resource against a single task with multiple allocation rates?

This can be achieved in i-lign using a task pool, but is not possible in i-lign for standard tasks, where only one allocation rate can be set per resource per task.
