Approving PPM Task Updates

This step only occurs on synchronizations following the initial synchronization.

Each time you synchronize, ProjectTransit determines which PPM tasks have changed since the previous synchronization and displays them. You have the option to update these tasks in Project. By default the PPM tasks are selected and will update the matching tasks in Project. Be aware that:

PPM tasks that are selected will use the highlighted values to update Microsoft Project.
PPM tasks that are not selected will use the highlighted values to update the PPM project schedule.
Note: Usually this means that changes in a PPM task will be overwritten by existing values from Project.
Project tasks that have changed are not listed and their changes are automatically copied to PPM.

Approving Schedule Updates

By default, all tasks with updates are selected and changed data will be copied from PPM to Microsoft Project. Select or unselect tasks depending on what data you want to update, and where:

Select PPM tasks to update your Microsoft Project schedule. Selected tasks will update your Microsoft Project file with the highlighted data from PPM.
Unselect PPM tasks to update your PPM schedule. Unselected tasks will update your PPM schedule with highlighted data from Project.

When you are finished, click Next to continue your synchronization.

What this screen shows you

This screen lists all the tasks in your PPM workspace that have been updated since the last synchronization.

What you can do:

You can choose which tasks you want to update in Microsoft Project by selecting those tasks (this is the default).

When you are finished, click the Next button to continue your synchronization.

What this screen does not show you

This screen does not list any tasks from your Microsoft Project file. All changed tasks in Project will be automatically updated in your PPM workspace project schedule. You do not have any option to change this.
