You cannot import combined Microsoft Project files to the TeamDirection Project tool in Groove

SYMPTOMS

You cannot import the following Microsoft Project files to the TeamDirection Project tool in Groove Virtual Office and in Groove Workspace:
  • Combined Microsoft Project files
  • Microsoft Project files that include a master project and sub-projects that all contain tasks

CAUSE

This issue occurs because the TeamDirection Project tool does not examine tasks in the master project when you import Microsoft Project files. The tool examines tasks only in the sub-projects. Most master projects do not have tasks, but have only sub-projects.

WORKAROUND

To work around this issue, sequentially import the Microsoft Project files into the TeamDirection Project tool when you want to combine two Microsoft Project files.

When you import one Microsoft Project file into the TeamDirection Project tool, and then import a second Microsoft Project file into the same tool, the data from the second file is added to the top of the data from the first file. If you want the data from a particular file on top, make sure that you import that file last.
