Projects Pane

The Projects pane displays all projects to which you have access. Use it to analyze multiple projects at once, or open a single project to see more Properties about it.

When a project is not performing as planned, variance and index calculated fields are highlighted. Double-click on any project to open it in Project view, where you can review and modify data. Right-click anywhere in the Projects pane to see a shortcut menu of options that are relevant to the selected project.

View Drop-Down List

Use the View drop-down list at the top of the pane to select groups of projects. If you select Master Project, the hierarchical grid displays all master projects. You can expand a master project to see all of its subprojects. You can also group projects by product line, location, or any code file you define. Click > Preferences > Application and select the Project Codes tab to add codes. Any code added to this tab will display in the View drop-down list.

Display the Project Properties dialog box and select the Code Assignments tab. From here, select a code assignment from the code file. These code assignments define where the project will be displayed in the Projects pane. Every node in the code file assigned on the Project Codes tab will have summary values calculated.

Cobra assumes that all projects within a master project use the same home currency. When you view projects using a project code file, the totals are only summed if all projects share the same home currency.
