Does anyone know of a better product for Project to Livelink Task auto

[jncflrr]

Hi All,

we are currently using Formark Project (latest version) and I think it needs some rework on it's functionality/coding. While I am familiar with the limitations (there are many in my opinion) with Livelink Tasks, I am wondering what the community is using when it comes to taking a project file and creating tasks in Livelink. Is anyone even using Tasks (remember not Workflow)in LL anymore?

Background is this:

Every new program that comes on board has a set of tasks that are required of the contract and tracking and monitoring them thru Livelink is how they want to do them. Reporting is difficult due to the way the Formark Project Robot imports them (tasks and subtasks). I know most of the issues are most likely due to the limitations of LL tasks in general but thought I would ask. Thanks

Looking at the Formark site (

http://www.formark.com/products/integration/formark_project/index.html)

it seems to do most of what you mention, have you raised your feature requests / concerns with them ?

If the process is discreet steps then I would consider using Standard Workflow.

Reading your email what you seem to be asking for is some kind of Livelink Task List to MS Project synchronisation tool is that correct ?
