Field Selector Dialog
The Field Selector dialog determines various options used when importing data from a Link. The options available may be different for each type of link source.
- Task Type import field
The field used to automatically assign >Task Types to each imported Task.
- Unique ID import field
The field used to uniquely identify each imported Task. This allows synchronization to work even if major changes are made to the external schedule in the scheduling software. The default behaviour is to use the most appropriate field for each source. Some sources do not have a well defined unique id, in which case you may need to choose a field manually.
- Start Date import field
Some project sources support multiple start dates for different purposes. The default behaviour is to use the most appropriate available date for each source. This field may be used to define an Actual Start date, should it be different to that selected by default.
- End Date import field
Some project sources support multiple end dates for different purposes. The default behaviour is to use the most appropriate available date for each source. This field may be used to specifically define an Actual End date, should it be different to that selected by default.
- Planned Start
The field used to identify a planned start date. This allows planned against actual comparisons to be made and simulated.
- Planned End
The field used to identify a planned end date. This allows planned against actual comparisons to be made and simulated.
- User 1 to 10
Ten user fields available to link any custom data fields from the project source.
Options
From the drop down list to the right of each field, choose the corresponding field from your project source.
