Users can now import and update .mpp files from Microsoft Project (2007 and later), enabling more streamlined and accurate schedule management within VisiLean. ### **Improved Data Accuracy** This update ensures data accuracy during schedule imports, preserving activity relationships and addressing issues like duplication or data loss. By simplifying this process, project teams save valuable time and can concentrate on decision-making and project execution. ### **Refined Export Process** Previously, exporting schedules required multiple steps and manual adjustments to existing activities. With this enhancement, the process has been refined to improve clarity and efficiency, reducing complexity and enhancing performance. #### Key Highlights * **Enhanced Import Support**: Effortlessly manage .mpp files from Microsoft Project 2010 and later. * **Accurate Updates**: Modify and update schedules in VisiLean with improved precision. * **Data Integrity**: Maintain accurate activity relationships and avoid duplication errors. * **Optimised Efficiency**: Benefit from reduced processing times during imports and updates. This functionality specifically designed for construction planners who rely on robust scheduling tools to keep projects on track. By enhancing integration with Microsoft Project, VisiLean strengthens its position as a vital connection between planning tools and field execution. Whether overseeing small projects or managing large-scale operations, this update helps ensure schedules remain organised, accurate, and adaptable. Start using this feature today and see the positive impact on your workflow. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.
