Select this option to update Cobra actual dates that are different from the file dates so that they match the file dates for the mapped activities.

Select this option to import the early start date when the actual start date is blank for activities with percent complete greater than 0.

Select this option to update the early and late dates used for alternative forecasts in Cobra based on the early and late dates supplied from the schedule.
