Identifying the Link

Before importing data into Cobra, you must define how you want to link activities to control accounts and work packages.

For example, you can use the Work Breakdown Structure field to identify the control account in Cobra and the activity ID to identify the work package. Alternatively, you can use a code on the activity to represent a work package in Cobra and use the activity ID as the milestone, or use one of the codes or user text fields of Primavera to identify the link.

The following fields are available to link to Cobra fields as control accounts, work packages, and milestones:

Task Code
Work Breakdown Structure
Resp.Discipline
Activity codes – Global
User Defined Text fields
Resource Cost Account

These determine the fields that define the control account or work package to be imported.

Note: Cobra displays only the codes with values in the selected project. You can use user number fields to identify the milestone weight.

The User Defined Text fields loaded from Primavera must have the following:

The data type should be Text .
The user defined fields should be under Activities.
The user defined fields must have values assigned in the Primavera project selected in the Integration Wizard.
