Merging
You can merge projects that have one or more sub projects with Project Management.
Required access roles: Author, Leader, Owner
The Link to Project feature of Microsoft Project is supported by Microsoft Project Integration while inserting su bprojects from the local disk to a master project.
You can merge a project that contains sub projects from Microsoft Project to Project Management when:
- Both the master project and the sub projects are newly inserted into a Microsoft
Project file.
When you merge a new project schedule that has summary task nodes, of type Project Space or of a derived type, both the master project schedule and sub projects are created, and each sub project is inserted into the newly created master project.
- Both the master project and the sub projects exist in Project Management.
When you merge a master schedule and sub project that already exist in Project Management from Microsoft Project, the changes made in the master and sub project are merged with Project Management.
- The master project exists in Project Management and the sub project
is inserted from Microsoft Project.
You can add a new sub project to a master schedule that is loaded from Project Management to Microsoft Project. A summary task is added of type Project Space or of a derived type in Microsoft Project for the new sub project.
When you merge the master project from Microsoft Project back to Project Management, a new project is created in Project Management from the summary task information and the new project is inserted as a sub project under an existing master schedule in Project Management.
Note: A master project must be open in Microsoft Project to insert sub projects in it.
