You can import new activities into a P6 Web Access project from a Microsoft® Excel® (.xls) file.
Notes:
-
If your P6 administrator previously configured security privileges for you in P6, you can import new activities using XLS files. For information about your security privileges, see your P6 administrator.
The import file is required to be in Microsoft Excel *.xls format.
To import new activities into a project:
- Open the project to which you want to import new activities, then click
on the Projects toolbar to display the Activities page.
- On the Activities toolbar, from the Action menu
(), click
Import.
The Import Activities dialog box displays. You are required to select:
- .xls file that contains the activities to import
- P6 Web Access project to receive the imported activities
- In the Import File field, type the name of the import file or browse and choose the .xls file to import.
Note: To import activities to a specific WBS, the WBS must already exist in the project, and in the .xls file, WBSName must be a column title with the full WBS path specified using a period to indicate the WBS level (for example: 1.2.1).
- Click Import.
