Information

In this module you can create a new project that has the same project structure as an existing project.

Procedure

Select a source project from the listbox in the Main project field which is to serve as copy source.

A new project is created automatically and is opened in the Project panel with the Dashboard module focused.
In the Project panel you can edit the newly created project.

Details

Customizing determines which data will be included.
- Durations, resource assignments, todo items, task notes and todo item notes, links, and external tasks will be included in the copy by default.
- External tasks which lie within the project structure are included in the copy, external tasks which lie outside the project structure are not copied. An info message will be displayed which lists external links that are not to be included in the copy.
- If Resource Planning with Requests/Approvals is active, no resource assignments will be adopted when the schedule is copied and they will therefore not be displayed.
- Requested and actual dates are not copied. Calculated dates are scheduled and output on the basis of task duration data (i.e. during the copy procedure a date scheduling is carried out).
