Now Import Projects from Microsoft Project Desktop Client in Project Operations
Problem Definition: In contrast to Project Service Automation, where importing projects is made easy via a ribbon button, it was previously not possible for current Microsoft Project Desktop Client users to do so in D365 Project Operations. Project for the Web is supported by D365 Project Operations, although not all of Microsoft Project Desktop Client’s features are available. It was imperative to establish a connection between the two due to the system’s gap. Solution: Steps to import a file in Project Limitations: Project for the Web works well for the majority of projects, but it doesn’t totally replace Project desktop. The following features cannot be migrated or supported. Before you begin importing your project, make sure it doesn’t rely on these features. Cross-project dependencies, manual tasks, recurring tasks, subprojects, and even some types of selective constraint types like As late as possible, Start no later than, Finish no later than, etc. are a few characteristics. There are many such features which are not supported while importing.

This functionality is a good complement to all the other functionalities in the product and will help D365 Project Operations meet more customer requests. Thank you, Sankalp for your valuable inputs.
