Microsoft Project allows users to track data using a large number of fields. Many of
these fields map directly to fields used by
TeamForge .
Overview
Data in the mapped fields is retained when synchronizing task data between Microsoft Project
and CollabNet
TeamForge . Some fields, however, are unique to either
TeamForge or Microsoft Project. Data in these fields is not
synchronized.
Fields that are fully retained
The following
TeamForge and Microsoft Project fields are fully synchronized
when using the
TeamForge Task Manager Add-in for Microsoft Project.
Note: The values in all other Microsoft Project fields are retained in the Microsoft Project
plan, but are not synchronized with
TeamForge .

Note:
- Task dependencies are also fully retained.
- Microsoft Project and
TeamForge fields that are not listed in this section are not
retained when synchronizing task data.
- The following fields are used by the synchronization process. Do not edit these fields.
1 When synchronizing task data between Microsoft Project and
CollabNet
TeamForge , priority values are mapped as follows.
Priority values (in parentheses) entered in Microsoft Project are rounded when synchronizing.
- CollabNet
TeamForge priority 1 = Microsoft Project priority
100 (1 - 199)
- CollabNet
TeamForge priority 2 = Microsoft Project priority
300 (200 - 399)
- CollabNet
TeamForge priority 3 = Microsoft Project priority
500 (400 - 599)
- CollabNet
TeamForge priority 4 = Microsoft Project priority
700 (600 - 799)
- CollabNet
TeamForge priority 5 = Microsoft Project priority
900 (800 - 999)
2 To export hours data to
CollabNet
TeamForge , you first must add and populate these
fields in Microsoft Project. You also must add these fields manually in Microsoft Project to
view any hours data that is imported from
CollabNet
TeamForge . Any decimal values entered in these
fields are rounded to integers when synchronizing.
3 If the Microsoft Project Actual Hours value or the %
Complete value is greater than 0, then the
CollabNet
TeamForge status is set to "OK." If the % Complete
value is 100%, then the
CollabNet
TeamForge status is set to "Complete." Otherwise
the
CollabNet
TeamForge status is set to "Not Started." Status
values entered in
CollabNet
TeamForge can be reflected in Microsoft Project
when synchronizing. You must add the field Text19 manually to view status values in Microsoft
Project.

entered in
CollabNet
TeamForge can be reflected in Microsoft Project
when synchronizing. You must add the fields Text16, Text17, and Text18 manually to view
status values in Microsoft Project.
