Exporting Custom Outline Codes

[Mark]

Is there an easy way to export Custom Outline Codes to Excel. Specifically
the RBS Outline Code.
Thanks,
Mark

From any view in Project Web Access where you can display them, you can
click the export to Excel link. Does that help?

Gary,

Thank you for your response but that's not entirely what I was looking for.
We are currently in the Proof of Concept stage and are rebuilding the server
a couple of times. Is there and easy way to import/export the RBS Outline
Code, or outline codes in general like Skills. What I have been doing is
copying and pasting but that does not retain the hieratical structure.

At this point, I think you need to explain "entirely what I was looking for"
and exactly what you mean of "easy." I haven't a clue where to point you
otherwise.

I've had to go through several gyrations of installing and re-installing
Project Server during our proof of concept too. The way I kept all my outline
codes, and their values so I didn't have to keep rebuilding the RBS, etc.,
was simply to save backups of the Enterprise Global Template where all this
is stored. Each time I rebuilt my server, I just restored whatever copy of
the Enterprise Global Template I wanted to use.

I also created a custome view in Project Pro ( also stored in the Enterprise
Global Template ) for all my custom codes as well as the RBS. Having all the
relevant custom codes show in a single view made it much easy to cut-n-paste
to excel. It was a simple matter to select the entire grid and copy it to
excel.

You can also preserve your code structures and field customizations by
saving them into local fields in a project plan, however this doesn't work
for multi-value fields. Moving enterprise global files from one server to
the other can cause problems.
