What gets imported?
Project for the web does not have all the same features as Project Desktop. However, we try to import all your relevant information so you can still effectively work on your projects.
- Project: Your project name and start date will be imported.
- Tasks: Your tasks will be imported with the correct hierarchy, start & finish dates, duration, effort, effort completed, and % complete.
- Dependencies: All finish-to-start dependencies will be imported.
- Constraints: ASAP, start no earlier than, and finish no earlier than constraints will be imported.
- Custom Fields: You can import up to 10 local custom fields from your .mpp file.
