Planning module does not support MS Project import. activeCollab team has released a module for importing MS Project plans. You can import your plan with that and update it using Planning module. The only XML format Planning module supports is XML exported from Planning module itself.

Is it possible to import from MS project.. I get an error:

“Invalid Plan. PLease ensure..”

Is there a trick to export a special way from MS Project?

Thanks

If you have Planning module or Tickets Plus module, and enter estimates using either of them, Reports module will be able to pick up those estimates and compare them against actual hours.

I utilize activecollab and currently have the Ticket Status module add on. I would like to be able to report actual vs estimated hours. I was thinking of just purchasing the reporting module as the ticket status also provides an estimate field. Will the report module provide me with the ability to report actual vs estimated hours?

@Amy: You can turn notifications on under Planning module settings in aC admin. Note that this will send notifications for all changes and may result in many emails!

Is there a way to have notifications sent to assignees when a task or milestone is added to them?

Thanks!

Yes. The latest version of Planning module allows you to turn off automatic conversion of hours into weeks/months etc. You can change this from within Planning module, via the Settings icon in top right.

Is it possible that the estimate fields only reflects the hours, and not break it down into month, weeks and days format? We would like to see the hours for each project only.

Thanks,

You can use batch update feature in Planning module to reschedule a set of items at once. You can also reschedule a milestone from within activeCollab and choose to reschedule all activities linked with that. activeCollab does not provide true task dependencies so that is a limitation…

I need task dependencies because I find myself wasting a lot of time if I have to update the due date of one object. It would nice if it had at least start to finish dependencies. I think I might have to go back to using MS Project.
