The administrator determines the default Microsoft Project task attributes that must be published from a plan to an item. Users can modify this list for individual items. You need to create the attributes in the System Settings module prior to attempting to map them to Microsoft Project attributes. Further, attributes added specifically for the purpose of mapping to Microsoft Project must be added to the item types (such as Project) for them to appear in the attribute mapping dialog.

- Select the Microsoft Project Settings tab.
- On the Publish Attributes tab, select the options for when a user of the Mariner Connector for Microsoft Project publishes information to Mariner 2008 from Microsoft Project. Select Allow User To Override Attribute Selection to let users choose their own attributes in Microsoft Project.
