Microsoft Project(MS Project) in it's various guises is a very powerful tool. It is feature rich and comes in Standard, Professional, Enterprise and online versions. [https://www.google.ie/search?q=buy+microsoft+project]  As the power of bxp's pillars can provide cross system integration solutions, therefore for All n One it is important that bxp provide interoperability with MS Project. bxp has the power to be able to integrate and work with Microsoft Project(MS Project) data structures. It is important therefore to understand the Understanding those underlying data structures in MS Project firstis vital.
So the first data structure is the Project table. Where in MS Project desktop versions the data is stored in a file, the Professional and Enterprise versions can be stored in a centralised database. The online version specification isn't available outside of Microsoft, though alluded to in the specifications provided by Microsoft.
The project header Project Header structure field is not a perfect match for all the fields available in MS Project. Missing fields can be created by bxp automatically to provide a perfect mapping on the creation of a new project / project form. [[What_is_a_Project_form]]   == Resources ==  In bxp users, including placeholders are one type of resource.   All other types of resources are created in the same task form as above.   The full field mapping can be quickly generated using the form template create option. As bxp can create a perfect mapping for Outlook contacts, it can also provide a quick template for Resources.   == Assignment ==  There is significant overlap of the fields available in Tasks, Resources and Assignments. For this reason the form created for Tasks by the template also will facilitate the storage of Assignment information.   == Time-phased ==
Missing These fields can be created are outside the scope of the bxp interface and best managed by MS Project. bxp automatically facilitates a template form to store the data for complete accuracy but doesn't provide a perfect mapping on the creation of a new project / project formdirect interface manipulation abilities.
