Enabling Microsoft Project Integration Options: Activity Synchronization and Mapping
Activities in Project Management are mapped to and from the Microsoft Project custom field Text1 (by default, Text1 is configured).
To enable activity mapping, from PPM, do the following:
-
Open the project.
-
Click Settings on the Project Overview page.
-
Click Microsoft Project Integration.
-
In the Microsoft Field Mapping section, select Enable Activity Synchronization.
-
Select the Microsoft Project custom field to map to Project Management activities. By default, Text1 is selected.
Note: By default, you can select custom field Text1 - Text29 from the drop-down list because, by default, the Microsoft Project custom field Text30 is used to store the project link information (see Project Management Configuration Guide for more information). The custom field used to store the project link cannot be used to map activities. If your administrator has configured the project link to use a different custom field, that field does not display in the drop-down list.
-
Click Done.
