Problem: | Global Activity Codes do not export to Microsoft Project. |
Fix: | This is by design. The project level activity codes will be exported as Microsoft Outline Codes. Workaround: Create a User-defined text field for each of the global activity codes that you want exported to MPP. Use global change to populate the User-defined text fields. For example: Then Responsibility – MSP = Responsibility Modify the MS Project Export Template. On the Custom Field Mappings tab, change the selected Subject Area to Activity then select the user-defined field to be mapped to a MSP text field. If you are putting the PM activity ID in a MSP text field (see Activity tab in Modify Template), do not use that text field for custom field mappings as well – the activity IDs will take precedence.
