# Fields Mapped Between Applications

The following fields are mapped between Project Management and Microsoft Project, grouped by information type (planned and actuals information). All fields are task-level fields unless otherwise noted. See Impact of Microsoft Project Rules on Fields, How Information is Synchronized, and Conditional editing allowed in Project Management for additional considerations about mapping fields.
