Use the fields in this group box to enter the template ID and the template name. The system uses templates to map Costpoint pools and COM to Cobra results.
These templates will be used in the Cobra Extraction Parameters screen. In the Cobra Extraction Parameters screen you can assign specific Costpoint projects or Cobra programs to use specific charge templates, budget element templates, and cost templates during the extraction process. This will allow you to customize the relationship between sets of Cobra programs and the Costpoint projects. You can set up as many templates as needed in this screen.
Enter up to 15 alphanumeric characters for a template ID. You can create as many template IDs as necessary.
Enter up to 25 alphanumeric characters for a template name. The template name displays in the drop-down list in the Cobra Extraction Parameters screen. You should select a name that adequately describes the type of cost template, and will make the selection from the drop-down list easy.

can use wildcards in this field. The type of value (Pool or COM)
will depend on the selection in the CP
Value Type field.

binoculars icon and field validation will only be available if you have
entered the database connection information in the Cobra Interface Settings
screen. The labels for Hours and Direct are defaulted in, but may
be changed if the Cobra system uses a different label. Hours and
Direct are the default labels in Cobra.
To prevent indirect information from being broken out separately in the .csv file, the indirect pools and COM can be mapped to the same Cobra result as the direct costs from Costpoint.
