Import tasks into a project (Preview)

[This article is prerelease documentation and is subject to change.]

Applies To: Project Operations Integrated with ERP, Project Operations Core

By using this feature, you can speed up project setup by reusing tasks from one or more projects that you already have access to. This capability provides a selective, flexible alternative to copying an entire project or manually rebuilding a work breakdown structure (WBS).

Import tasks

To import tasks, follow these steps:

  1. Go to the target project where you want to import tasks.
  2. Select Import tasks from the project ribbon.
  3. Choose the source project.
  4. Select the tasks and select Add to import the tasks.

Note

  • Unlike copy project, a target project can have existing work break down structure.
  • You can import all or selected tasks from one or more projects.
  • The imported tasks are appended to the list of tasks.

Imported items

Display Name Name

Notes msdyn_description
Duration msdyn_duration
Effort msdyn_Effort
Outline Level msdyn_OutlineLevel

Note

The process copies all tasks under the default bucket of the target project.
