If two 8-hour days of effort are finished and a resource is contributing at 100% units and efficiency at a Cost/Hour of $50, they’ll contribute $800 to the actual cost. In OmniPlan terms, this represents the amount of effort completed by resources assigned to a task, multiplied by their costs. Actual Cost (ACWP) This column is pretty straightforward it’s the actual cost of work performed up to the current date. This first group of columns tells us about the amount of money we’ve spent on tasks to this point in the project, and compares that with our initial budget. With these set up, we can begin putting the EVA columns to use.

The selected items become children of a newly created group.Choose Structure ▸ Group ( Command-Option-L).To bring tasks into a newly created group:.The items become children of the item above them in the outline.Choose Structure ▸ Indent ( Command-]) or Tab, depending on your preference setting).To bring tasks into a group within a peer task above them in the outline:.Add more tasks to the group by pressing Return.The selected item becomes a group with one child task.Choose Structure ▸ Add ▸ Add Child Task ( Command-}).Select the item you want to grant sub-tasks.To convert a task to a group with new child tasks inside it:.NOTE: I am not a MS expert! I just found a solution that works, and this is the sequence of events that got me there.There are a few ways to approach grouping, depending on whether you’re starting with an existing set of items you want to add to a group, converting an existing item to a group, or creating a brand new group task. Verify that every category on the right-hand “to” column has the correct column header connected to it, and if not, fix it by dragging and dropping from the left hand column. Don’t just skip past this, if it is showing up it probably means that something about your template got a little messed up and its not quite sure what to import, and to where. **if the box is not clicked, click it, and it will (Likely) bring you to a page to “map custom fields”. Remember to save this as a CSV!Īfter you have edited and saved your CSV, go to file > Open and export > Import/Export > Import from another program or file > Comma Separated Values > Select your file > select your desired folder/list > **Check that the box is clicked** > import your tasks!

Then you can go in and open that file, and add your tasks according to the template that was downloaded. Then, go to file > Open and export > Import/Export > Export to a file > Comma Separated Values > select your desired folder/list > save the file.

Find the list you want to upload to, and make sure there is at least one filler task in their for the time being so that you have a template to work from. If you are signed in to the correct MS account, your To-do list should be synced to this page. On the bottom left there is a tab to navigate to the “Tasks” page – click on this. To do this, you must be signed in to Outlook on a desktop – as far as I know this will not work on the web version. However, there is a way to do it – through Outlook instead. I’ve long had a frustration with the fact that MS To-do does not have the ability to import mass tasks from excel like Wunderlist did, and every attempt to search up a solution just led me to posts with the same complaint, and no solution.
