You can export project schedule information from Smart Construction, including the relationships created in the Work Package Schedule window, to an XML file that you can import to your external scheduling system, such as Primavera P6. For more information on importing your schedule into Primavera P6, see Import your schedule to Primavera P6 from Smart Construction.

  • If you set up your project configuration data in Smart Construction using the Project Configuration workbook, the WBSPath value is required if you plan to export your schedule data from Smart Construction and import it into Primavera P6. For more information, see Import project configuration data into Smart Construction.

  • The most recently imported WBS hierarchy will be used as the WBS hierarchy during this export operation.

  1. In Smart Construction, click Administration on the Smart Construction Standard Toolbar.

  2. Select Export Schedule to open the Schedule Export dialog box.

  3. Select a level of detail to export.

    You can export your schedule data either upto package level or component level.

  4. Click Filter CWPs.

  5. Select which CWPs you want to export.

    If you filter CWPs, use the search criteria to narrow your results. Only those CWPs are exported.

  6. Click Export Options.

  7. Select Include WBS hierarchy to export the WBS hierarchy with the schedule. If the CWP being exported is in the WBS hierarchy, the hierarchy structure is maintained.

    • If the Include WBS hierarchy option is not selected, the WBS hierarchy is exported as a flat structure with the CWP as the top node. As a result, CWPs receive new CWP numbers when imported into a scheduling system.

    • You should only export a schedule using the same WBS hierarchy that you imported the data from. For example, if you imported a CWP from Primavera Schedule Web, you should export it using Primavera Schedule Web.

  8. Select your schedule system source from the Use WBS hierarchy from list.

  9. Type or browse to a file name and location in the Export File Location box.

    If you export your schedule from Smart Construction and import it into Primavera P6, the file name specified in the Smart Construction Export file location box is used as the Project Name and the ProjectID in Primavera P6. For example, if you name your schedule ExampleProject in the Smart Construction Export file location box, the Project Name in Primavera P6 is ExampleProject, and the Project ID in Primavera P6 is ExampleProject-1.

  10. Select Export as Primavera P6 Reflection Project to generate a file that can be imported into P6 as a reflection project.

    If this option is not selected, when the XML file is imported into P6, the project will be imported as a standard project.

  11. Select Export crew as resource to export crew details if you select to export schedule data at an IWP level.

    You can export named crews only. See Import your schedule to Primavera P6 from Smart Construction for more information on how to import crews into Primavera P6 software.

  12. Click Export on the Schedule Export dialog box to export the schedule to an XML file.

  13. Import the XML file to your external schedule system. For more information, see Import your schedule to Primavera P6 from Smart Construction.
