Multiproject Operations (Master and Subprojects)
Multiproject operations allow you to work with a master project and any number of subprojects as though they were a single entity.
Each multiproject has the following elements:
- A single master project that does not contain data, but is used as an umbrella for subprojects
- Multiple subprojects through which you enter data for specific subsets of control accounts
The following Cobra operations allow you to use master projects:
- Advancing the calendar
- Calculating apportionment
- Calculating progress
- Calculating total budget, actual costs, and forecast
- Exporting DCDE
- Exporting IPMDAR
- Exporting XML/UNCEFACT
- Initializing forecast through the API
- Loading actual costs
- Performing ANSI EIA X12 export
- Performing analyze
- Performing recalculation
- Replacing resources
- Running batch reports

To perform a multiproject operation, you start by creating a new project to be used as the master “shell” project. This shell project does not contain any control account or work package data.
Merging a Master Project's Subprojects to Create a New Project
Use the merging feature to copy data from all sub-projects into the master project to create a new project. This feature is useful when sending a copy of all projects to another individual.
Follow the procedures in this section to manage multiple projects in Cobra.
