Resource Assignment Mapping

SuiteProjects Pro maps Microsoft Project resource assignments using the following guidelines:

• A Microsoft Project resource name maps to a SuiteProjects Pro employee name. You can make changes to this mapping in the export settings when exporting a project to SuiteProjects Pro. See Exporting a Project Plan from Microsoft Project to SuiteProjects Pro.

• Each task and task duration in a Microsoft Project convert to a task and task duration in SuiteProjects Pro. You can view the tasks and planned hours, as well as other pertinent task information in the exported project plan by going to Projects > Projects > [select a project] > Phases/Tasks: Outline in SuiteProjects Pro.

• The percentage allocation for each user on a task in Microsoft Project converts to the same percentage assignment for that task in SuiteProjects Pro. You can view this information by going to Projects > Projects > [select a project] > Phases/Tasks: Outline in SuiteProjects Pro.

• Work schedules are respected when exporting task information from Microsoft Project to SuiteProjects Pro. Task duration is distributed according to the employee's work schedule. To view work schedule information in SuiteProjects Pro, go to Administration > Global Settings > Users > Employees > [Select an employee] > Schedule.

• Your company's SuiteProjects Pro account configuration may restrict who you can assign to a task based on whether the resource is booked to the project. Account administrators control this setting in Administration > Application Settings > Projects > Other settings in SuiteProjects Pro. See Importing Resource Information from SuiteProjects Pro into Microsoft Project.
