Dear Fellow Planners,
I have to import a number of MSP’s into Primavera 6. I have a unique ID in column "Text1" in MSP I want to be reflected in the Primavera "Activity ID" column but do not know how to change the rule in the import box. As you run through the import criteria it reaches a screen called "Import Confirmation" that then has a section "ACTIVITY" that states "Import Microsoft Project’s Task ID field into :Activity ID". This is where I would like to change it to "Import Microsoft Project’s Text1 field into :Activity ID".
Any ideas ?
Thanks
Bob

You found the area with the rules already.
Your item can be done by some steps:
1. Define a user defined field, e.g. u_id
2. During the first of your imports, change the rule, that "Text1" will be moved into "u_id". You may add a new rule "MSP_Imp"
3. Global change: activity id = u_id.
Pay attention, the activity id must be unique within a project.
Hope that will help.
Dieter
