Actual start or finish dates on some activites have not been imported because they contradict the values on the assignments.If a resource is not included in Merlin Project, no task can be assigned to it. Assignments without a valid resource could not be imported and were ignored.

Therefore the project end is moved to the end of the last task. This is also not possible in Merlin Project. Merlin Project treats this situation differently than MS Project so their scheduled dates may differ.Īnalogous to the project start, MS Project also allows you to create activities after the end of the project. The constraint dates of some tasks lie after the project end date.Therefore, we postpone the project start to the first activity date in the file. We don't know why Microsoft allows tasks to be created before the project starts. Merlin Project treats this situation differently than MS Project so their scheduled dates may differ. The constraint dates of some tasks lie before the project start date.Since we do not want to follow this assumption either, we cannot import these values. Milestones with 99% completion have been imported as being 100% complete as Merlin Project does not support this configuration.įrom Microssoft's previous decision, it naturally follows that a milestone can also be completed differently than 0% or 100%.By definition, a milestone is completed or not completed. We don't know what led Microsoft to the decision to give milestones duration or even work. Milestones with non-zero work or duration or with unequal actual start and finish have been imported as regular activities because Merlin does not support these configurations.If they are required, a normal transaction can be used for this purpose. Merlin Project does not support different transaction types and therefore does not support buffering. Merlin Project does not support this concept. Percentaged lags on dependencies were ignored.Merlin Project does not support blank lines between tasks, as the various sorting and grouping functions would repeatedly conflict with blank lines. Note that outline or WBS codes can always be used as a stable reference to activities. Subsequent row numbers were changed by this. Empty task rows were not imported because Merlin Project does not support this concept.

This shows in detail the values that were not imported into Merlin Project due to different calculations or data structures.

The value 'x' on element 'y' could not be imported and was ignored.

In order to calculate the values contained in them anyway, they are stored on the base costs. There are no cost resources in Merlin Project. However, their assignment costs have been converted into base costs.

Cost resources have not been imported because Merlin Project does not support them.

Since the concepts of both programs are quite different in individual cases, one or more messages may appear in Merlin Project after importing an MS Project file: MS Project users open Project XML Files thus. To export, call File -> Export -> MS Project.

If your Status column is off, click on the Plus sign on the top right of the grid and tick Status box.Merlin Project also supports export in Project XML files.

Done and Closed mean that the progress is set as 100%.

In progress means that the progress is between 1-99%.

Open means that the progress is less than 1%.

They correspond to Assigned to column in the Gantt chart grid.Ĭards in the Board view show lots of important information:Īs you have probably noticed, in our alternative to Microsoft Project, there are four statuses: Open, In progress, Done, and Closed. In People, you will find assignees and their tasks. They correspond to Priority column in the Gantt chart grid. In Priority, you will find Highest, High, Medium, Low, and Lowest columns. They correspond to Status column in the Gantt chart grid. In Status, you will find Open, In progress, Done, and Closed columns. Here, three filters are available: by Status, Priority, and Filter. There, you can drag & drop your tasks that look like cards between columns. In GanttPRO online Gantt chart maker, there is also a possibility to switch to a board view.

If the task start date is later than the current status date, the status field will be marked as a future task.

If the timephased cumulative percent complete does not reach midnight on the day before the status date, the status field is set as Late.

If the timephased cumulative percent complete is spread to at least the day before the status date, the status field is set as on schedule.

If the task is 100% completed, Microsoft Project sets it as complete.

This is how you can define a task status in Microsoft Project.
