Write an Excel file as per the screenshot and save it in UTF-8 CSV format.
The columns fields represent:
Project: The FFplus sub-project ID.
Name: Name of the milestone to be added.
Description: A brief explanation of the milestone to be added.
Line: It specifies the kind of milestone to be added. There are the following ones:
F: Financial.
T: Technical.
O: Other.
D: Deliverable.
R: Final report.
M: Meeting.
I: Internal.
ExpDate: Deadline of the milestone to be added. It can be specified by M<X>, m<X>, <X> (with <X> being the sub-project month number) or by a date in the format YYYY/MM/DD, including the slashes.
ResourcesReq: The resource required to complete the milestone. There are the two following options:
Links: If the milestone requires a link to a document in the BSCW repository to be completed. By default if ResourcesReq is left blank.
None: If the milestone requires no link to be completed.
You can also prepare the CSV manually in a notepad.
Warning
The server expects a file with Project, Number, Description, Line and ExpDate columns.
The ResourcesReq column is optional. If omitted, all the milestones created will require a link to a document in the BSCW repository to be completed.
The file should include one row per sub-project milestone.
Please do not use commas or semicolons in data to prevent parsing errors.
In the form that appears, select the CSV you have created on your computer. Check that milestones entries in the table are OK and if
you agree confirm their creation by clicking the “Upload sub-project milestones file” button.
Note
You can select another file and the preview will be regenerated. If you have made corrections in the same file you initially
chose and have kept the name, first clean the preview with “Clean table” and then choose again the same file already corrected.
If the upload is successful, a confirmation message will appear.
