Schedule Mapping Page of the Integration Wizard-Primavera
Use this page to define how the schedule fields from Primavera are mapped to the Cobra project.
Project Keys
Use this tab to define how project fields map to the schedule.
If you are importing data into an existing project, the labels and Cobra validation files on this tab are based on the project properties for the selected project. Any control account or work package fields that are not defined in the project are hidden.
When creating a new project, the labels and validation files are based on the project template defined on the General tab of the Application Preferences dialog box. If a project template is not defined, the fields are based on the system defaults for new projects.

Schedule Fields |
Use these fields to define the field in the schedule that contains the value for each Cobra field. Click
to select a value for each of the fields below:
The values in these fields depend on the date field selected for Baseline and Forecast as well as the scheduling tool from which you are importing. You cannot import using the CA3 field unless a template project that defines this field is defined or you are importing into an existing project with this field defined. When importing data from any date field in Primavera, the following values are available in the
Control Account 1-3,
Work Package, and
CAM fields.

Cobra File Used for Validation |
When importing data, if the project has specified a code file, all codes in the schedule must be in the validating code file. The code files selected for validation are displayed in this column. The fields that are not being validated. When creating a new project, use this column to define the Cobra file to be assigned to the key field in Cobra. If the template does not have the required fields defined, the fields are enabled. Click to select a file against which each key for new projects is validated. Note: Cobra does not validate the
Milestone field.

Control Account Codes
Use this tab to map imported data to codes in the Control Account field. This tab displays a grid with rows representing the code assignments associated with the selected project.
When you create a new project, the codes defined on the project template display in the grid. If code is not defined for the selected project or if you are creating a new project where template is not defined, an error message displays stating that there are no control account codes defined for the project.

If a default template is defined on the General tab of the Application Preferences dialog box and you select the Create a new project checkbox, and specify a new project name in the Cobra Project field on the Project Selection page of the Integration Wizard, Cobra will validate all the required fields based on the default template project. Otherwise, Cobra will not perform any validations.
If you use an existing project on the Project Selection page of the Integration Wizard, that is, the Create a new project checkbox is not selected, Cobra will validate all the required code fields based on the configured project properties of the selected project.
