Update Task Plan from Microsoft Excel in the CSM Browser Client
Use the Browser Client to update an existing Project Task Plan. After you modify the Project Plan in Microsoft Excel, you can update the Project Tasks in CSM using the Update Project link.
Note:This functionality is only available after you apply
the
mApp Solution.
Use the Update Project link in the CSM Browser Client.
If Project Tasks are updated in
CSM
(example: change assignment, effort, start/end dates) these updates will only
reside in
CSM
and will be overlaid if there is an update activity initiated from Microsoft
Excel. We recommend one of the following:
- Microsoft Excel is used for new and updated activities for CSM Project Tasks
- Microsoft Excel is used to create the new CSM Project Tasks and then all updates are done in CSM.
To update a Task Plan from Microsoft Excel in CSM Browser Client:

- Save the Microsoft Excel file in .csv format.
- Open CSM and access the Project you want to update.
