Narrative Export Process

Cobra follows a set of rules for exporting narratives.

  • Cobra evaluates each code of each structure being exported.

    If there is a narrative for a report period's structure code, Cobra exports the narrative and proceeds to the next code.

    If there is no narrative for a code and the structure is the WBS structure, which is attached to the CA1 field of the project, Cobra searches for a narrative against the control account with the CA1 field that matches the code.  If Cobra finds a CA level narrative for the current period, the narrative is exported.

  • Cobra does not attempt to export CA level narratives for anything that is not the WBS structure assigned to CA1. It also does not export CA narratives if the WBS narrative is on the same code as the CA1 value for the control account.
