Field	Description
Resource	Click to display the Resource Lookup dialog box, where you can select a resource. Only those resources contained in the Resource file used by the project are available.
Class	Click to display the Class Lookup dialog box, where you can select the class that will be associated with the resource. You cannot select earned value classes. If you are adding resources at the control account level, then only control account level classes are listed. If you are adding a resource at the work package level, only work package level classes are listed. You cannot select frozen forecast classes or classes that are marked as read only.
Result	Use this field to select the result that Cobra will use to measure the value entered in the Value field. Cobra displays all result codes that have been set up for the resource. Additionally, Cobra displays an option called Total. Selecting Total will load the value against the total, and the rest of the results for the resource will back calculate from the total.
Value	Use this field to enter the total value for the resource. Cobra spreads the value in the Time-phase pane according to the baseline/forecast dates of the calendar and the spread curve.
Spread Curve	Use this field to specify the curve to be used when spreading the value in the Time-phase pane. The spread curve used is stored on the resource assignment. This field is enabled only for budget or forecast classes.
Resource Assignment Code Assignments	Use this grid to assign codes to the resource assignment. The code assignments are based on code values that exist in the resource assignment code files attached to the five fields on the Resource Assignment Codes tab of the Fields tab of the Project Properties dialog box. You can only define code assignments for the resource assignments if you specified that these codes will be used for that resource assignment on the Fields page of the New Project Wizard when you are creating the project or on the Fields tab of the Project Properties dialog box after you created the project.
