Multiproject Operations (Master and Subprojects)
Multiproject operations allow you to work with a master project and any number of subprojects as though they were a single entity.
Each multiproject has the following elements:
- A single master project that does not contain data, but is used as an umbrella for subprojects
- Multiple subprojects through which you enter data for specific subsets of control accounts
You can use master projects in the following Cobra operations:
- Advancing the calendar
- Performing ANSI EIA X12 export
- Performing analyze
- Performing recalculation
- Loading actual costs
- Loading status
- Running reports
- Calculating progress
- Calculating total budget, actual costs, and forecast
