A schedule lives here, but it travels: as XER, P6 XML, Excel, PDF, or a three-week look-ahead. And Excel can come in.
File, Export: a file for a scheduling tool, a workbook, a printed page, or the engine switch's diary. XER writes the schedule as it stands: the server schedules it first, so it is never stale.
P6 XML is the same schedule in the other exchange format, for a scheduling tool that reads it. Excel gives the Gantt as a workbook, for anyone who lives in spreadsheets.
Conversion log is the engine switch's diary: choose one conversion or all, and it downloads as a workbook. Print to PDF: landscape or portrait, one page wide or across, the paper size, which rows, a header.
The page carries what you see, with PC.o and the page number in the footer. To look without editing, click View, the Gantt icon on a row. It opens in a new tab.
The three-week look-ahead lives in the viewer: Export, 3-week look-ahead. From the data date, three weeks. Change either date, add fields, download. Nothing is saved into PC.o.
The sheet is the site's week-by-week list, in the look-ahead template PC.o reads back. Excel comes in too: open an Excel schedule with Edit.
It is an upload: try things out, then Save as. The banner explains: dates are held by Start On constraints, and the sheet's links did not come across.
Add links, remove the constraints as you go, and the sheet becomes a schedule the engine can run. One rule: XER and P6 XML are written from the Advanced engine. On a Standard schedule, switch first.
That was getting out and in. Next in the Guide: running the analysis, comparing, and baselines.
