Field Description
Filter Comments Use these options to select a subset of project log entries to display in the grid.
  • Starting log date: Select the date on or after which the log entries or transactions that you want to view were created.
  • Transaction Number: Select the transaction number of the log entries that you want to view.
  • Change number: Select the change number of the log entries that you want to view.

To see all log entries, select<Any> for all of the options.

Select the blank option to view log entries that have blank change numbers.

Apply Filter Click this button to update the grid using your filtering selections.
Total Entries This grid displays the following fields:
  • Significant: This column displays whether the log entry or transaction was marked as significant.
  • Control Account: This column displays the prompt level of the log entry or transaction.
  • Change Comment: This column displays the comment that was entered for the change.
  • Change Number: This column displays the number that was entered for the change.
  • Trans. Num: This column displays the transaction number that was entered for the change.

Log entries are displayed on separate rows in the grid. Multiple log entries that have been created by running a process are displayed on separate rows, with the same details displayed on each row. If the details for one of these entries are changed, the changes are automatically applied to all other entries that were created by the same process when you click Apply. Cobra displays a message informing you if this has occurred.

Log entries that were created by the same process using a version of Cobra prior to 5.1 Hot Fix 19 can be edited independently; the changes will not be automatically applied to the other log entries.

Significant Select this check box to mark a change as significant. Changes identified as significant are broken out and shown as individual entries on the IPMR Format 3 report, while non-significant changes are grouped together and displayed as "Others."

For existing projects that already have status entered in the current period, you must advance the calendar after you turn on the project log to ensure that the baseline changes are displayed in the Significant/Other line of the IPMR Format 3 report.

Change number Enter a change number, or click to select a new change number to replace the current change number.

You can select multiple transactions from the grid and replace their change numbers with a single change number.

Change Comment Enter a new comment to replace the selected comment.

You can select multiple transactions from the grid and replace their comments with a single comment.

Apply Click this button to make multiple edits to different entries in one transaction. For example, click this button to update multiple entries using different comments and change numbers without restarting the wizard.

If you do not click the Apply, changes are saved when you click Next or Finish.
