Using Template for Resource Calculations
If you indicate to create a new resource file or rate when importing from the schedule, you can use a template for resource calculations.
Select the Use templates for resource calculations checkbox on the Resources and Rates page of the Integration Wizard. Selecting this checkbox allows you can select a resource file in Cobra that is used to define how resources being imported from the schedule are burdened or have multiple results in the calculation.
If a resource in the template resource file matches a resource name in the schedule, that resource is copied from the template file to the new resource file being created; otherwise, the resource type is used to determine what resource in the template is used to obtain the calculation.
To define the calculations for a resource, create a resource in the template file with the same name as the resource type. Examples are LABOR or NON-LABOR. Cobra creates the calculations for these resources using these units with the same calculation as in the template file.
