Create a Master Project

To create a master project:

  1. Display the New Project wizard by completing one of the following actions:
    • Click > New > Project > Create.

    • In the Cobra Explorer, right-click the Projects group bar, and select New Project File on the shortcut menu.
    • In the Cobra Explorer, select the Projects group bar, right-click the Projects pane, and select New Project File on the shortcut menu.

  3. Select Copy defaults from project if you want to copy the structure of the new project from an existing project.
    Click to display the Project Lookup dialog box, where you can select the project from which Cobra will copy the information.

    The project that you select to copy should be the one that has the most features defined. For example, if one of the projects you plan to use in the multiproject operation has only one cost account key defined and another uses all three keys, you should use the project that uses all the cost account keys as your model.
