Field Description
wInsight version Use this drop-down list to select the version of wInsight that you are using.
Note: wInsight version refers to 6.5.1 and any major or minor version after it .
Create UN/CEFACT XML file Select this check box to create a standard wInsight XML file (xsdcostschedule.xml) and run the DLL to create a second XML file.
Note: Take note of the following when generating UNCEFACT/XML file:
  • Populate all fields on the Contract Information tab of the Project Properties dialog box with values.
  • To assure proper data is submitted, the currency unit in the Caption field on the General tab of the Project Properties dialog box should conform to the UN/CEFACT standard terminology (which is Dollars.)
Include Format 7 Selecting this check box allows the wInsight wizard to export the IPMR CPR Format 7 PastPeriods XML, which includes time-phased budget, earned, and actual data until a period prior to the status date. Selecting this option creates the xsdtimephasedcostdata.xml file.

If the Create UN/CEFACT XML file option is also selected, both xsdtimephasedcostdata.xml and xsdcostschedule.xml files are created.

Transfer data directly to the wInsight database Select this check box to export data directly to the wInsight database. When you select this check box, Cobra creates the configuration file, then immediately imports the data in wInsight. If you do not select this option, the XML file is created but not imported.
Recalculate after transferring data to wInsight Select this check box to perform a recalculation in wInsight after transferring the data to wInsight.

This check box is enabled only if Transfer data directly to the wInsight database is selected.
