Action

Use this field to select whether to update an existing code file in Cobra, or create or overwrite a new one. Select one of the following options from the drop-down list:

  • Update — This option adds new codes to the existing file. Codes that match the imported codes have the description updated.
  • Create/ Overwrite — This option creates the selected Cobra code file if it does not exist yet. If it exists, the existing file is deleted and recreated.
  • Schedule Code — This field allows you to define what codes to import from the schedule.

Open Plan

Click to open a list of BDN (breakdown structure) files that you have read access to in Open Plan. It can take a while to retrieve data for the lookup.

Cobra Code File

To select the code file into which you import data, either click and select a file from the list or enter the name of the code file in this field.

  • If you select Update as the action, the Cobra code file you select must be an existing code file.
  • If you select Create/ Overwrite as the action, you can either select an existing file or enter a name for a new file to be created. If you select this option, the default value in the Cobra Code File field becomes New Code 1. If that name already exists, it increments to the next number.
Add

This button allows you to insert a row into the grid so that you can import another code file.

Delete

Use this button to delete the selected row. This button is disabled if no row is selected.
