Field Description
Respread all periods in the project Select this option to instruct Cobra to perform the respread over the entire project — from project start to project end. This allows for the modification of historical data.

Selecting this option does not affect completed work packages.

Respread all periods after the current period Select this option to instruct Cobra to restrict the respread process to periods that occur after the status date. Therefore, historical data is not affected.

If you select this option and the budget spread spans the status date, the budget records prior to the status date are summed and subtracted from the BAC to obtain the amount to be spread over the remaining periods. The spread curve is determined by the portion of the budget spread after the status date.

Selecting this option does not affect planned work packages with scheduled finish dates prior to the status date.
