Keyword | formats (export)

This keyword has not yet been fully tested yet. You are welcome to try it, but it may lead to wrong results. The syntax may still change with future versions. The developers appreciate any feedback on this keyword.

Purpose | This attribute defines for which output formats the export report should be generated. By default, the TJP format will be used.
Syntax | `formats (tjp | mspxml) [, (tjp | mspxml)...]`
Arguments | tjp | Export of the scheduled project in TJP syntax.

mspxml

Export of the scheduled project in Microsoft Project XML format. This will export the data of the fully scheduled project. The exported data include the tasks, resources and the assignments of resources to tasks. This is only a small subset of the data that TaskJuggler can manage. This export is intended to share resource assignment data with other teams using Microsoft Project. TaskJuggler manages assignments with a larger accuracy than the Microsoft Project XML format can represent. This will inevitably lead to some rounding errors and different interpretation of the data. The numbers you will see in Microsoft Project are not necessarily an exact match of the numbers you see in TaskJuggler. The XML file format requires the sequence of the tasks in the file to follow the work breakdown structure. Hence all user provided sorting directions will be ignored for this format.
