Results Pane of the Analyze Form
The Results pane displays data columns for your project analysis. Some columns are color-coded according to thresholds specified in the code and resource files.
The Results pane displays the following columns.
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Selection | This column indicates whether a code contains child codes, and whether the child codes are expanded on the display. If this column is blank for a particular code, then that code has no child codes. If this column displays the plus (+) sign for a particular code, then that code has unexpanded child codes. If this column displays the minus (-) sign for a particular code, then that code has expanded child codes. |
| Code | This column displays each code used in the project analysis. |
| Description | This column contains a brief description of the code. |
| Start Date | This column displays the start date for the work represented by the code. |
| Finish Date | This column displays the finish date for the work represented by the code. |
| CV | This column displays the cost variance (CV) associated with the code. The formula used is Earned - Actuals. If the CV exceeds the threshold, Cobra displays the value in this field against a colored background. A green background indicates a positive CV. A red background indicates a negative CV. |
| SV | This column displays the schedule variance (SV) associated with the code. The formula used is Earned - Budget. If the SV exceeds the threshold, Cobra displays the value in this field against a colored background. A green background indicates a positive SV. A red background indicates a negative SV. |
| Budget | This column displays the budgeted cost of work scheduled for the code. |
| Actuals | This column displays the actual cost of work performed for the code. |
| Earned | This column displays the budgeted cost of work performed for the code. |
| Budget At Complete | This column displays the budget at complete for the code. |
| SPI | This column displays the schedule performance index ( SPI) for the code. The formula used is Earned / Budget. |
| CPI | This column displays the cost performance index (CPI ) for the code. The formula used is Earned / Actuals. |
| EAC | This column displays the Forecast for the code. |
| VAC | This column displays the variance at complete (VAC) for the code. The formula used is BAC - EAC. If the VAC exceeds the threshold, Cobra displays this value against a colored background. A green background indicates a positive variance. A red background indicates a negative variance. |
| Narrative Score | This column displays the narrative score generated for the selected control account.
The column is displayed only when the following conditions are met:
