Field Description
Validation On the Validation tab of the Sub-Projects Validation dialog box, select the data types that you want to validate.

You can validate the following data types:

  • Code entries — Cobra validates that the master project and sub-projects are using the same ancillary files and the same codes in the key fields (CA1, CA2, CA3, and WP). It also validates that the control account assignments from the key fields of the project are control account values that exist in the master project's CA key field code file.
  • Calculation entries — Cobra validates that the resource file used in the master project has the same content as the resource files assigned to the sub-projects.
  • Rate entries — Cobra validates that the rate file used in the master project has the same content as the rate files assigned to the sub-projects.
  • Fiscal calendar entries — Cobra validates that the master project calendar has the same rate sets and periods as the calendars used in the sub-projects. If the calendars are not shared, then the dates in the base calendar set 18 are the same for all projects including, the master project.
  • Baseline dates — Cobra validates that the baseline start of and finish dates of the master project and sub-projects match.
  • Status dates — Cobra validates that the status date of the master project is the same as the status date of the sub-projects.
  • Class entries — Cobra validates that the master project and sub-projects have the same class definitions.
