Report Categories

Cobra features a complete set of standard cost/schedule reports, some of which comply with EVMS guidelines.

Standard reports include the following types:

  • Required EVMS formats such as IPMR Formats 1 through 5 and CSSR
  • Tabular reports that can be used as planning sheets, checklists, and project logs
  • Listings of important data files such as fiscal calendars, rate sets, and code files
  • Graphic reports such as histograms and trend analysis curves
  • Bar charts showing cost account/work package schedules
  • Variance analysis worksheets
  • NASA 533 formats

The Report wizard provides the mechanism for you to have Cobra data displayed on standardized EVMS reports. Some values can be retrieved directly from data stored in the Cobra tables, while other data values are calculated in the report.  The report retrieves stored values from Cobra, performs some basic calculations, and then processes the report.

There are several ways to choose the report you want to see:

  • Use the Report wizard: Select a report to display the information about the report just below the grid.
  • Use the Report Properties dialog box: Click the Information tab to view or modify the information entered on the report.
    Attention: For more information, see the Information Tab of the Report Properties Dialog Box help topic.
  • Use the Report List report: The Report List shows all of the reports to which the user has access. The list shows each report's description, category, type, owner, and access control.
