Safran Project
Acumen links to Safran Project 5 through exported Safran Project (.SP) files.
You can link to, and import from, a Safran Project file without having Safran Project installed on your computer.
Activities With Constraints
Every Safran activity has one field for each type of constraint. Acumen allows a maximum of two constraints on an activity. The third and subsequent constraints are ignored.
When you import from Safran, Acumen loads constraints in the order shown below.
| Constraint Type | Safran Field |
|---|---|
| Must Start On | Fixed Start Date |
| Must Finish On | Fixed Finish Date |
| Start On Or After | Target Start Early |
| Finish On Or After | Target Complete Early |
| Start On Or Before | Target Start Late |
| Finish On Or Before | Target Complete Late |
| As Late As Possible | As Late As Possible |
Safran Outline Codes
During a Safran project import, Acumen checks if there is an outline code defined.
- No outline code defined, Acumen doesn't create a WBS.
- One outline code defined, Acumen assumes that field is the WBS.
- More than one outline code defined, then during import, a Safran Import Settings dialog box displays where you can select the project outline code that you want as the WBS.
