Ownership

Use the Net Change option to synchronize activities and budget lines updates in LN and Microsoft Project. The ownership decides how the update is carried out.

Microsoft Project > LN Project
  • Activities are scheduled; they receive actual dates and a progress indication, if any.
  • Milestones are scheduled; they receive actual dates, with the exception of milestones linked to customized items, which are always owned by LN.
  • Budget lines receive related start and finish dates including additions, deletions, or both.
  • The budgeted quantity of a budget line can be changed from the Microsoft Project side, and the value is updated to LN if LN is the owner.
