Prerequisites

Features
Exporting Objects
You can only export the project definition from cProjects to a new Microsoft Project project in Microsoft Project Server (by selecting a Microsoft Project Server project template). You cannot export other project elements, for example, phases, tasks, and checklists.
The system automatically transfers the description and the start and finish date from the project definition. Your system administrator can also specify other attributes in Customizing.
Activities
You can start the export of an operational project from the editing view of a project at project definition level or from the Projects initial view. Choose Export and enter your data. You can start the export of a project version from the editing view of an open version or from the Versions initial view.
