The Challenge

Master Schedule Imports used to only support XML files. For teams working in P6, MS Project, or Asta, that meant converting files, losing details, or manually rebuilding tasks - slowing planning and adding unnecessary friction.

Your Feedback

You told us sticking to XML wasn’t enough. The top requests were:

• Direct imports from P6, MS Project, and Asta, with no conversions.
• The ability to filter tasks and date ranges to fit the current planning phase.
• A review step to check imports before they go live.

The Update

Imports now support the formats you actually use, with better controls along the way:

• XER, MPP, and XML support – Import directly from P6, MS Project, or Asta.
• Filter tasks and dates – Focus on what’s relevant to the current phase.
• Smart data handling – WBS, milestones, and metadata are preserved, with sensible handling of unsupported task types.
• Review before publishing – Check and assign ownership before tasks hit the live plan.
