Loading Resource Files from Open Plan

You can import a resource code file from Open Plan into Cobra. In Open Plan, you can use a punctuated significant breakdown structure for resource codes, while in Cobra, you can use a non-significant breakdown structure for resource assignments.

When you load code files from the schedule, Cobra compares the resource code with the format of the breakdown structure validating the resource assignments in Cobra. If a punctuated-significant format was used in the Open Plan resource code and a non-significant format is used in Cobra, Cobra removes the parent information from the resource code. Thus, a resource with an ID of LABOR.ENG.ENG01 appears in Cobra as the resource assignment ENG01.
