Import Enterprise Flags from Microsoft Project
Server
NOTE:
In version 2008 and later, enterprise fields are available, so the extra
steps described here are not required. (This article is for
users of version 2006)
Q
I want to import Enterprise Flag fields from
Microsoft Project server. Is this possible?
A
Yes, with a little tweaking on the Microsoft
Project side.
In Microsoft Project
1
Add a new Flag field to your schedule (one of
the Flag1-20 fields)
2
Right-click in the column heading area for the Flag
field.
3
Choose Customize Fields...
4
Click the Formula
button.
5
Click the Field button to insert a new
field.
6
Save your Microsoft Project File.
7
Import your Microsoft Project File into Milestones
using the wizard (as usual). This time, pick the new
Flag field you just set up (Flag 2 in this example). It
will pick up the contents of your Enterprise flag field
from Project Server.
Note: This technique can also be used to import Enterprise
number fields, text fields and cost fields.
