Importing

If you have an existing project planned outside of Jira and want to manage it in TeamBoard ProScheduler, you can easily import the file instead of manually recreating the project. Your Timeline and Gantt chart will automatically populate with all the project details.

We allow users to directly import files in formats such as .mpp, .mpt, .csv, .xls, and .xlsx into ProScheduler’s Timeline and Gantt charts, streamlining the transition between project management tools.

To import tasks from a file, follow the steps below:

step 1 Navigate to the Gantt or Timeline Board

step 2 Click on the Import icon located at the top right corner.

step 3 In the Import window, click Browse and select the file you wish to import.

✅ Import data from MS Project:

1. Supported file formats: .mpp or .mpt

2. Select the project you want to import.

• (Optional) Check the "Convert parent issues to Epic" box to import tasks as parent-child hierarchies. (Hierarchies supported: Epic → Task)

3. Click to load the data into TeamBoard ProScheduler.

✅ Import data from MS Excel:

1. Supported file formats: .csv, .xls, and .xlsx

2. Select the project you want to import.
