CA Clarity PPM 14.2 Release Notes › New Features › Microsoft Project Field Mapping Administration

Microsoft Project Field Mapping Administration

You can map only the existing CA Clarity PPM attributes that have not been mapped and custom attributes of the Project, Resource, Task, Assignment, and Team objects with the Microsoft Project fields. The attributes must be of following data types:

• Date
• Number
• String
• Boolean
• Lookup string

You can only import, export, or import and export data to and from CA Clarity PPM to Microsoft Project.

The following business rules apply when you map the fields:

• If an Object Type and Clarity Attribute ID mapping already exist, the Create or Update operation results in an error.
• If an Object Type and MSP Field Name already exist, the Create or Update operation results in an error.
• For out-of-the-box mappings with the Clarity Attribute ID set to prUID, the Create or Update operation results in an error.
• For mappings with Clarity Attribute ID set to prUID, you can modify only the MSP Field Name for an update operation. For example, you can change the mapping of UID from text3 to text4.

Note: You must have the administrator rights to view the MSP Field Mappings page.
