|---|

|
Oracle Primavera Project Management P6
| Field | Description |
|---|
| Calculate Baseline Values From
|
Specify whether you want to calculate baseline values from planned or current values.

Microsoft Project
| Field | Description |
|---|
| Activity Comparison Field
|
Specify the field that Acumen Forensics should use to uniquely identify an activity. You can select
UniqueId,
Id,
Guid, or
WBS.
This setting only applies to MS Project. For MS Project Server, Acumen always uses the
Guid.
|
| Load MPP files directly without requiring Microsoft Project
|
If you do not have Microsoft Project installed, you can select this option to specify that Acumen should import the MPP files directly. Direct loading is faster but less reliable than using Microsoft Project.
This setting only applies to MS Project because MS Project Server does not use .MPP files.
|
| If the "Acumen ID" field is present, map it to "Id"
|
Select this option to modify the default mapping when Acumen imports a project from Microsoft Project. Microsoft Project does not have an equivalent to Acumen's
ID field. Selecting this option allows Acumen's ID fields to be preserved when a project is:
- Exported from Acumen to a Microsoft Project XML file.
- Edited in Microsoft Project.
- Exported from Microsoft Project.
- Re-imported into Acumen.
When Acumen exports data for Microsoft Project, it creates a user-defined field called
Acumen ID. When Acumen imports a project from Microsoft Project, it looks for the user-defined field called
Acumen ID. If you select this option, values from the
Acumen ID field are loaded into Acumen's
ID field, thus preserving the content.
This setting applies to both MS Project and MS Project Server.
|
| Import external activities
|
Microsoft project supports cross-project links. A cross-project link is a relationship between an internal activity (an activity in the current project) and an external activity (an activity in another project). If you select this option, Acumen imports the cross-project links and their external activities.
This setting only applies to MS Project. Acumen does not import external activities from MS Project Server.
|
Deltek Open Plan
| Field | Description |
|---|
| Username / Password
|
Enter your username and password so that you don't have to enter them every time that you import an Open Plan project.
|
| Import Code Field Definition as
|
Specify whether you want to identify imported Open Plan code fields using their description, name, ID, or a prompt. If you select prompt, you will be asked to specify your choice every time you import a project. You can view the code fields on the Fields tab in the Source fields area.
