Table Of Contents

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 Field Selector Dialog Box, 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 - 6 products using the SDK for data access, linking with

TimeLiner can take a longer period of time than other formats.

Primavera P6 (Web Services)

Accessing the Primavera P6 Web Services capability greatly speeds up the time taken to synchronize TimeLiner

and Primavera schedules.

This link requires you to set up a Primavera Web Server. Refer to the Primavera P6 Web Server Administrator

Guide (available in your Primavera documentation).

Asta Power Project 8 - 10

This Link requires the corresponding version of Asta Power Project

™

to be installed.

CSV Support

The TimeLiner tool supports importing and exporting schedules in CSV/Excel formats.

You need to use commas (“,”) when saving a CSV file, otherwise you will have problems importing it into

TimeLiner.

NOTE If your software product uses other separators than commas (“,”), try adjusting the software settings. You may

also want to check your OS setting for the regional list separator.

You can use the Options Editor to change the format of the text file that will be used to import/export a CSV

file into TimeLiner.
