The scheduler allows you to export the master schedule and save it as a local file. This is useful if you want to save the schedule as a template for use in other similar projects. You can use your favorite scheduling application to edit the schedule before importing it into a new project.
The currently supported applications are:
- Oracle Primavera
- MS Project
- MS Excel
This saves a lot of time as it relieves you from creating an entire schedule from scratch for similar projects. See Import Master Schedule to learn more.
You can export a schedule at any time in the course of the project. The exported file contains all required columns, depending on the format selected. The task details, start and end dates, etc., are included as per the baseline status at the time of export.

- Click the app launcher icon in the top-right and select 'Schedule'
- Click 'Planner' on the top, then select 'Grid' on the left
