Exporting a Project

You can export the project data for any project that you are a member of to a .CSV file. The export includes basic project information and WBS task information and is formatted according to the import file format requirements (see Project Import File Format), so after editing the information in another application, you can import it back into Program Central.

You can also use the tool on specific pages to save the data on that page to a .CSV file. The pages that contain this tool include Risks, Quality, Metrics, Work Breakdown Structure (WBS view and Baseline view), and Financials. Be aware that this page-level export simply saves the data displayed on the current page to the file. The file cannot then be used to import data back into the project.


Before you begin: To locate the project you want to export, see Listing Programs.
  1. Check the name of the project you want to export. You can only export one project at a time.

  2. Click Export from the page Actions menu or toolbar.



  3. Enter these details:

    Field Delimiter. Choose how the fields should be separated: Tab or Comma.

    Export Columns? Choose Yes or No to indicate if you want to export columns.

  4. Click Next.



  5. Click the file name.

    You are prompted to open or save the file. Save the file to disk.

  6. Close the popup window that contains the linked filename.
