Import Projects from Microsoft Project to activeCollab

Once you have the activeCollab Microsoft Project Importer installed, you will find it under the Options drop-down menu of the Project Overview page.

Any user who has sufficient permission to create a new project in your activeCollab will also be able to use the Microsoft Project Import option.

To import a project, you will first need to export it from Microsoft Project as an XML file

To export a project as an XML file simply open the project you need within Microsoft Project, go to the Save As... option and make sure you select the XML File format. Now that you have the XML file, please visit the Project Overview page Options menu and click Import Microsoft Project option.

A new page will open where you can select the Microsoft Project XML file that will be uploaded. If the uploaded file is valid, you will be asked to select the data that you want to import into the project. After choosing the desired data, click the Import button and that data will then be saved.

In this way you can import data from any Microsoft Project to any of your newly created activeCollab ones.
