Project planning has never been so easy

QuickPlan supports exporting projects as Microsoft Project files (XML format), which can be opened in MS Project. Conversely, MS Project files saved as XML on a PC can be imported into QuickPlan as new projects.

Exporting to MS Project

Export the project as a Microsoft Project file in XML format.
On a PC, open Microsoft Project and use the "Open" menu to load the XML file.
Select the "As a new project" option, then click "Finish".
A new project will be created in MS Project.

Notes

MS project requires that the XML file encoding be Unicode, but sometimes when an XML file is emailed or transferred from a cloud service, the file encoding can be changed - this is beyond QuickPlan's control. Here's how to fix it:

Open the XML file in Notepad on a Windows PC.
Use "Save As" in Notepad and specify the encoding as Unicode.

Import from MS Project

Tasks from the first ten outline levels of the MS Project are imported. Utilization of outline levels: Levels 1-5 remain in the main project; Levels 6-10 are imported into subprojects.
