Field Description
Automatically change the status of LOE Work Packages to in-progress Select this option to allow Cobra to automatically open Level of Effort (LOE) work packages in the project at the end of the advance calendar process. If selected, Cobra opens planned work packages with a forecast start date before the project status date. If a control account contains an LOE work package that was opened, the control account is also opened.

Cobra uses the value of this option if you run the Advance Calendar API process and do not include the UseStatusDateAsActualStartDateForLoE setting in the API script.

Cobra displays an error if the Secure checkbox for this option is selected and the value of this setting does not match the value of the UseStatusDateAsActualStartDateForLoE setting in the API script.
