PPM Project Tasks
Individual Resources are assigned at a PPM Project Task level.
Note:This functionality is only available after you apply
the
mApp Solution.
You can import Project information from Microsoft Project or Excel to create or update Project Task plans.
Note: Cherwell PPM does not support a bi-directional relationship and
associated date updates to Project Tasks like MS Project can. For example, if
you update a Project Task date or effort,
CSM
does not modify the associated successor tasks with new information based on
the Project Task update.
If Project Tasks (example: change assignment, effort, start/end dates) are updated in CSM, these updates will only reside in CSM and will be overlaid if there is an update activity initiated from MS Project.
We recommend you use one of the two following methods for creating and
maintaining your Project Tasks:
- Use MS Project/Excel for new and update activities for CSM Project Tasks.
- Use MS Project/Excel to create the new CSM Project Tasks and then all updates are done in CSM.
