Import from Outlook and Export to Outlook

ADD Planner supports importing and exporting calendar data and scheduled tasks with Microsoft Outlook.

Note: ADD Planner will import ALL Outlook tasks that have not been marked done and will list them all as due today. We recommend that before you import from Outlook you purge or mark done all old Outlook tasks that you don't want to see.

Importing from Outlook

To import calendar data and scheduled tasks from Outlook, select the File | Import from Outlook command:

Import From Outlook command

ADD Planner correctly imports individual tasks and tasks that repeat daily, weekly, monthly (by date only), and yearly.

Note: At this time, ADD Planner may not correctly import tasks that repeat bi-weekly or monthly by day of the week (i.e., it may not handle "the third Thursday of the month" correctly, for example).

Exporting to Outlook

To export calendar data and scheduled tasks from ADD Planner to Outlook, select the File | Export to Outlook command:

Export to Outlook command

ADD Planner does not export unscheduled Project View tasks to Outlook, although scheduled tasks within the Project View are exported.

Note: When the same tasks exist on both Outlook and ADD Planner, the tasks that are imported or exported overwrite those tasks on the target (receiving) computer, even if the tasks on the target computer are newer than what is exported or imported. You can avoid having to reenter tasks that were overwritten by importing or exporting the data from one program before adding new scheduled tasks in the other.
