Field Description
Automatically send usage statistics to Deltek

Select this option indicates you allow Deltek to collect information about your usage of Cobra.

This option is selected if you have selected the Automatically send usage statistics to Deltek option on the Customer Experience Improvement Program page of the Installation wizard during installation.

  • If this option is enabled, your selection is saved to the <sendUsageStatistics> tag in the Ideablade.ibconfig file. A value of 1 represents the selected option. A value of 0 represents the cleared option.

    If you change this option and click Close, Cobra may display the following error message: "Unable to write to ideablade.ibconfig. Please check that you have write permissions to the file.” This can occur if Cobra is installed in the Program Files folder and Windows User Account Control (UAC) is enabled. To fix this problem, you can start Cobra by using the Run as administrator command.

  • If this option is disabled, your selection is determined by your selection on the Other tab of the Application Preferences dialog box and the value stored in the Ideablade.ibconfig file is ignored.
