Field Description
Criteria Use this field to select the criteria to recalculate.

You can select from the following options:

  • Total Project
  • Control Account
  • Work Package
  • Control Account Key Fields
  • Work Package Field
  • Resource
  • Resource Assignment
  • Control Account Codes 1 to 20
  • Work Package Codes 1 to 20
  • CAM
  • Work Package Manager
  • Progress Technique

The selection you make in this field affects the selections that are available in the remaining fields of the wizard page. For example, selecting Control Account displays the list of available control accounts in the Selection field and disables the Include all children field.

Selection Use this field to select the portion of the project to recalculate.

The options available depend on the selections you made in the Criteria field. For example, if you selected Control Account in the Criteria field, clicking in the Selection field displays the Control Account Lookup dialog box, where you can select a control account for which to recalculate costs.

This field is not available if you selected Total Project in the Criteria field.

Include all children This option is available if you select a code with children in the Selection field. Selecting this option instructs Cobra to run the process against the parent code and its children. For example, if you selected WBS code 1 in the Selection field and this has child codes 1.1 and 1.2, then Cobra will run the process against codes 1, 1.1, and 1.2.

This option is enabled only for code criteria that are hierarchical in nature, such as WBS and OBS.
