Importing Resources: Overview

The i-lign tool has the ability to import existing resource information. This feature is particularly useful in situations where multiple users need to be created in i-lign, for instance at implementation time, or adding another team to the i-lign user base.

Estimating Project Resource expenses

i-lign uses four types of estimate. All of them calculate projected expenses between the Start and End dates of the project.

Project Resource Planning

The Project Resource Planning consolidated view displays a list of planned project and resource information, from the current month and for the following eight months.

How is the Project Percentage Complete figure calculated?

The Project Percentage Complete figure displays on the Project Snapshot.

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.

Managing Project Number Allocation

Project number allocation can be centrally managed either externally to i-lign or by using i-lign's auto-number generation function.

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.

Managing Project Status

This topic deals with configuring project status options within i-lign. Project status allows for organisations to define whether a project is Active or Inactive.

Why are Tasks marked as 100% complete showing in an overdue Task list?

i-lign considers a Task to be complete when an actual end date is entered.

How does i-lign calculate task end dates?

The first factor i-lign uses in determining task end dates is the length of the working day.
