On connecting to PPM 4 and 5 within TimeLiner, a logon dialog allows the source link to be selected (a
warning occurs if none are present). The user name and password are not stored in the NavisWorks file,
and will be prompted for each time.
Once connected, a dialog box allows the user to select which project to open. A check box determines if
all sub-projects are opened.
By default, TimeLiner brings through Start, End, Planned Start, and Planned End as "Start", "Finish", "BL
Start" and "BL Finish" respectively.
Other Primavera dates can be selected through the generic TimeLiner 'Field Selector' Dialog, including
'Project Activity Codes', 'Global Activity Codes', and 'User Defined Fields'.
The TimeLiner hierarchy supports the WBS structure for Project / Activity hierarchy.
Note:
Due to the nature of the Primavera Project Manager 4 and 5 products using the SDK for data
access, linking with TimeLiner can take a longer period of time than other formats.
