Migrate your GanttPRO data

Projects are the top-level container in GanttPRO and map cleanly to standard PM project objects. We preserve project settings including auto-scheduling toggle, duration step (hours/days/weeks/months), and calendar exceptions during migration.

Summary tasks group related subtasks and display as parent rows on the Gantt chart. We preserve the parent-child hierarchy and ensure subtasks roll up correctly to their summary task in the destination system.

Standard tasks are the primary work unit in GanttPRO, each with start/end dates, status, priority, and assignee. We migrate all standard task fields including progress tracking and color coding.

Subtasks are nested under summary tasks and carry their own dates and assignments. We flatten subtask hierarchies to match typical destination system structures while preserving the parent-child relationship.

GanttPRO supports four dependency types: Finish-to-Start, Finish-to-Finish, Start-to-Start, and Start-to-Finish. We map these directly using the destination system's dependency model and flag any circular dependency violations detected during extraction.

GanttPRO distinguishes between project members (human users) and virtual resources (role-based placeholders with cost rates). We convert virtual resources to standard assignees in the destination, preserving cost values where the target system supports resource billing fields.

Custom fields are available on the Advanced tier and above. We extract field definitions and values per project, then map them to custom property schemas in the destination system. Field type translation is required for non-standard types.

A portfolio groups multiple projects on a single screen for high-level monitoring. We migrate portfolio membership and preserve the aggregated view structure in the destination system.

Time entries are logged against tasks with date, user, and optional comment. We map these to time entries in the destination system, though note that time log export is only available in XLSX format and requires Business-tier access on GanttPRO.

Workload displays resource allocation across tasks in hours, percentages, or tasks mode. We extract workload snapshots per resource, but note that live workload recalculation depends on the destination system's resource management engine.

GanttPRO supports automatic and manual budget calculation modes. Where automatic mode is enabled, costs are derived from resource rates and estimated hours. We extract both the calculated values and the underlying cost settings to reconstruct budgets in the destination.

Saved filters in GanttPRO filter by task name, type, assignee, status, priority, date range, color, and custom fields. We export filter configurations per project and note that these must be recreated manually in most destination systems.

Custom project templates are available on the Advanced tier and above. We extract template structure including task hierarchy and dependencies, but note that template migration requires re-importing as a new project in the destination.

GanttPRO project calendars include working days, holidays, and calendar exceptions per project. We export these as working-day configurations and map them to the destination system's calendar or project settings.

File attachments on tasks are not explicitly documented in GanttPRO's export or API capabilities. We do not migrate attachments as a structured object and recommend users export them manually via GanttPRO's UI prior to migration.
