Use this page to define how the fields in the schedule map to the Cobra project.
Note: The Schedule Mapping page of the Integration wizard displays if you are importing project data.
Project Keys tab
Use this tab to define the project keys to use when mapping to the schedule. If you are creating a new project, the labels and Cobra validation files on this tab are based on the project information for the selected project. Any control account fields that are not defined in the project are hidden.
When creating a new project, the labels and validation files are based on the template project defined on the Application Preferences dialog box of the application. If no template project is 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:
- WBS — This field is required.
- OBS
- WP_NO. — This field is required.
- Milestone — If you are importing from Primavera 6.x , the key field can be imported from a Code field at the activity level; custom data item at the activity or resource level; and the Cost Account field at the resource level or the Activity ID.
- CAM
- WP Manager — This field displays only when you select
Code Assignments and User Fields on the Action Selection page.
The values in these fields depend on the date field selected for
Baseline and
Forecast, and the scheduling tool you are importing from.
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.

- Activity code — These are the activity codes associated with the project.
- All standard user text fields
