P6 V7 Updating a Project using another version of the project

Hi,

Is it possible to use one version of a project, to update only certain activities of a newer version?

 

I have added more detail to a project, linked it to sub projects, and would like to update this projects dates with that of a newer version that does not have the links to the sub projects, I don't want the update op remove the links to the sub projects in the older version though, which is what is happening when I try this, it updates the logic and everything else too. (removing the links which I would like to keep)

 

Any suggestions?

 

Thanks

I dont think you means the actual version of the sofware but where one schedule has newer information than the previous one. If this is teh case then choose the import action select Update existing project. To take this a step further you can choose what you want to update during the import process by  selecting modify during the import process and select which itesm you want to update. You have bascially 4 import options to choose for each item being imported.

Your Options are:

Update Existing

Donot Import

Insert New

Keep Existing

 

this can be done for each item in the

Activity Type, Global Type &  Project Type
