Export

You can use this option to transfer the general project information to the ESP.

Export the general project information data

This project information is exported to the XML or used in the process to create the XML file:

  • Start Date and Finish Date of the project
  • Description
  • Calendar and Availability Type
  • Currency for the External Scheduling Package
  • Time zone of the Company
Note: The ESP requires a project Start and Finish date and the Duration (calculation based on the start and finish date including a Calendar and Availability Type combination). However, in LN these fields are not mandatory. In this scenario, the session is used to determine the default date. It is recommended that you include this data in the application to reduce the amount of work required to rearrange tasks in the ESP.

The Activities and Budget Lines (Tasks), Standard Costs Objects, project related Cost Objects (Resources), and Calendars data can also be exported to the ESP.
