Priority Mapping
During export, the Codebeamer priorities are mapped as follows:
CB Task/Bug tracker priority
MS Project priority number
Lowest (id=5)
100 (Lowest)
Low (id=4)
300 (Lower)
Normal (id=3)
500 (Medium)
High (id=2)
700 (Higher)
Highest (id=1)
900 (Highest)
The Requirements trackers have different priority levels stored in the Business Value field. These are mapped as follows:
CB Requirement Business Value
MS Project priority number
5 Nice to have
100 (Lowest)
3 Should have
500 (Medium)
1 Must have
900 (Highest)
During import, the mapping is reversed. However, because the priorities in MS- Project can be an arbitrary number between 0 and 1000, the mapping is performed to the closest priority number in the mapping table above.
For example, the 310 priority is mapped to Low, while the 490 priority is mapped to Normal.
