Text import feature of Planning module will let you import the outline of the project – milestones, tickets and tasks. You can then manually add assignees, estimates and dates via Planning module. This is the easiest that’s available right now.

The XML import takes Planning module generated XML files and they are different from MS Project XML files.

Improving CSV import is on cards for us.

Hi Nirav,

Without the MS Project Import/Export functionality, can you please provide advice for the best way to import tasks from a MS Project schedule. I am trying to avoid re-work. I have tried to import by saving the project as a text and XML and can not get it to work.

Thanks,

Annette

Hi Rene,

MS Project Import / Export is on our list. But we are holding onto that since not a lot of customers want it. We plan to improve CSV import in an upcoming version.

Hi Tom,
Thank you!
If you would like to see the plan of multiple projects together, you can do it in the Gantt view. Go to the Gantt chart / timeline view. Then click on the icon that looks like a folder to open more projects. Now select and check all projects you want to open. You can now see plan of all those projects together.
Hope this helps!

Hello appsMagnet!
your app rocks! – but i have a question:
Is it possible to select/show projects in different directory?
I like to view a ‘global’ planning of my work.

Possible?

Thanks!

You asked for it, and we have it 😉

We have added CSV Export feature to the “just released” Planning module version 1.3. Give it a try and let us know how it goes for you!

Thanks.

Hi Andy,

1. MS Project XML import is not yet implemented. Planning module can only import XML files exported from Planning module itself. (But yes, we have studied the MS Project XML structure a bit and plan to implement it. If you can send in a few sample files to support at appsmagnet dot com, that will help us move faster on it)

2. CSV export of the plan is coming soon. I can’t promise a date, but it’s high on our list.

3. I haven’t studied FastTrack planner. Will take a look. But sure, we are more interested in supporting MS Project XML import / export.

4. Printing the Gantt on multiple pages is another planned feature.

Overall, we are focusing on getting a few bugs ironed out, a couple of highly requested features done, and implementing CSV export for Planning module. We may have multiple small releases to cover these features. But they are all coming soon.

Hope that helps.
