🎁Enhanced Microsoft Project Export & Update in VisiLean

Update schedules confidently with structured data handling and flexible ID options.

Managing construction schedules has never been more reliable! We are excited to introduce a powerful enhancement to VisiLean’s integration with Microsoft Project (MSP), ensuring accurate project updates with improved data consistency.

With this update, you can now choose between VisiLean Unique IDs or MSP Unique IDs when updating schedules, maintaining full data integrity. One of the biggest challenges in working with MSP has been its inconsistent ID handling, which often results in mismatched updates and data loss. Our latest enhancement addresses this by introducing a structured approach using GUIDs within VisiLean, providing a stable reference for all updates.

Key Benefits

• Improved Data Alignment: Maintain consistency across updates with an advanced ID mapping system.

• Flexible Update Options: Choose between GUID-based updates or External ID mapping based on project requirements.

• Stronger Data Integrity: Eliminate workflow disruptions and mismatches when exporting and updating schedules.

• Enhanced Compatibility: XML-based export ensures smooth data handling between VisiLean and MSP.

This update enhances project tracking, reduces errors, and increases confidence in your schedules. By maintaining a structured mapping of IDs, it minimises confusion and ensures that updates accurately reflect the true state of your projects.

We are confident that this improvement will provide immense value to teams relying on MSP for scheduling while executing in VisiLean. Try it today and experience greater control over your project updates!

Key Considerations & Caution Points

• When importing via VisiLean Unique IDs, always follow the proper workflow to ensure that VisiLean GUIDs are present in the incoming schedule during updates. This prevents duplication of activities.

• Ensure XML files exported from VisiLean retain GUID integrity before re-importing into MSP to maintain accurate activity mapping.

• MSP may generate new Unique IDs upon updates, so using GUIDs within VisiLean is strongly recommended for maintaining data accuracy.

• Double-check that all updated schedules are mapped correctly before importing back into VisiLean to avoid data misalignment.
