1 Overview
bxp has the power to be able to integrate and work with Microsoft Project structures. It is important therefore to understand the underlying data structures in Microsoft Project first.
Microsoft provide the following specification of their fields. https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Available-fields-reference-615a4563-1cc3-40f4-b66f-1b17e793a460
2 Structure
So the first data structure is the Project table.
| Microsoft Table | Microsoft Name | Microsoft Description | bxp Equivalent | bxp Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Project fields | Areas Impacted | The Areas Impacted field contains examples of areas that could be affected by a proposal, as selected in the Areas Impacted lookup table, which is shipped with Microsoft Project Server and can be modified to reflect the organization’s specific areas. This field is controlled by the workflow. | ||
| Project fields | Assumptions | The Assumptions field contains key assumptions for the current proposal. This field is controlled by the workflow. | ||
| Project fields | Business Need | The Business Need field is used to specify the business requirement for the current proposal. When you add information, be sure to be as specific as possible. This field is controlled by the workflow. | ||
| Project fields | Committed Planned End Date | The Committed Planned End Date field specifies the finish date of the project as committed to in a Portfolio Selection Scenario during resource constraint analysis. | ||
| Project fields | Committed Planned Start Date | The Committed Planned Start Date field shows the beginning date of the project as committed to in a Portfolio Selection Scenario during resource constraint analysis. | ||
| Project fields | Committed Portfolio Selection Decision (Cost) | The Committed Portfolio Selection Decision (Cost) field shows the result of a cost constraint analysis on a project. You can choose Selected, Unselected, Forced-In/Out, or Custom Forced-In/Out. | ||
| Project fields | Committed Portfolio Selection Decision (Schedule) | The Committed Portfolio Selection Decision (Schedule) field shows the commitment date of a Portfolio Selection Scenario as determined during schedule constraint analysis. | ||
| Project fields | Committed Portfolio Selection Decision Date (Cost) | The Committed Portfolio Selection Decision Date (Cost) field shows the commitment date of a Portfolio Selection Scenario as determined during cost constraint analysis. | ||
| Project fields | Committed Portfolio Selection Decision Date (Schedule) | The Committed Portfolio Selection Decision Date (Schedule) field shows the result of a schedule constraint analysis on a project. You can choose Selected, Unselected, Forced-In/Out, or Custom Forced-In/Out. | ||
| Project fields | Compliance Proposal | The Compliance Proposal field indicates whether the current proposal is for a project that helps meet a compliance goal, that is, whether the project is required by law, regulation, or other requirements. | ||
| Project fields | Goals | The Goals field contains the measurable goals of the current proposal. This field is controlled by the workflow. | ||
| Project fields | Post Implementation Review Date | The Post Implementation Review Date field indicates when the Post Implementation Review meeting was or will be held. This field is controlled by the workflow. | ||
| Project fields | Post Implementation Review Notes | The Post Implementation Review Notes field stores review meeting notes or a link to a meeting notes publication for the post-implementation review. This field is controlled by the workflow. | ||
| Project fields | Primary Objectives | The Primary Objectives field contains the primary objectives for the current proposal, as selected in the Primary Objective lookup table, which is shipped with Microsoft Project Server and can be modified to reflect the organization’s specific objective statements. This field is controlled by the workflow. | ||
| Project fields | Project Departments | The Project Departments field contains the name of the department with which the selected project is associated, as selected in the Department lookup table, which is shipped with Microsoft Project Server and can be modified to reflect the organization’s specific department names. | ||
| Project fields | Proposal Cost | The Proposal Cost field stores the estimated cost for the proposed project. This field is controlled by the workflow. | ||
| Project fields | Proposed Finish Date | The Proposed Finish Date field contains the estimated end date for the current proposal. This field is controlled by the workflow. | ||
| Project fields | Proposed Start Date | The Proposed Start Date field contains the estimated beginning date for the current proposal. This field is controlled by the workflow. | ||
| Project fields | Workflow Phase Name | The Workflow Phase Name field specifies the current workflow phase for a selected project. A phase represents a collection of stages grouped together to identify a common set of activities in the project life cycle. Typical workflow phases are Create, Select, Plan, and Manage, although these phase names may be customized. This field is a component of the Microsoft Project Server workflow framework. | ||
| Project fields | Workflow Stage Info | The Workflow Stage Info field describes the current workflow stage for a selected project. A stage represents a single step within a project life cycle, and one or more stages can make up a workflow phase. This field is a component of the Microsoft Project Server workflow framework. | ||
| Project fields | Workflow Stage Name | The Workflow Stage Name field specifies the current workflow stage name for a selected project. A stage represents a single step within a project life cycle, and one or more stages can make up a workflow phase. This field is a component of the Microsoft Project Server workflow framework. | ||
| Project fields | Workflow State | The Workflow State field indicates a selected proposal or project’s current workflow state—for example, Waiting For Approval or Completed. This field is a component of the Microsoft Project Server workflow framework. |
