Linking from outlook tasks

ResolvedVersion 2003

Steve has attended:
Project Introduction course

Linking from outlook tasks

I understand that this is just a one-way street (i.e. live alerts back to Outlook are not possible) in MSP 2003, but how do I feed Outlook tasks into MS Project? (Assuming that subsequent questions relating to what format/parameters they appear in/with will be answered when I try it for the first time and see the result.)

Thanks

Steve

RE: Linking from outlook tasks

Hi Steve

Thanks for your question. In Project go to the tools menu and choose Import Outlook Tasks. You will be prompted to select which tasks to import from our Outlook account and then Project will import them into your Project.

Hope this helps - let us know if you have any further questions.

Kind regards,

Andrew

MS Project tip:

Set default task type - Project 2010

a. In Project, click on the File tab
b. Select Options from left hand side
c. Click on Schedule to set the scheduling options
d. Set the Default Task type box to your chosen option
i. Generally if you plan/estimate your projects using durations you should use fixed duration, and untick the box New tasks are effort driven, if you plan/estimate with person hours use fixed work, or for plans estimated with the proportion of resources time use fixed units, and untick the box New tasks are effort driven)
e. Click OK to apply your changes
