CREATE CSSR REPORT TABLES

Use this screen to create the report table from which the C/SSR prints. You must execute this process for the projects and subperiods for which you want a C/SSR. You can select only those projects that have been entered on the Manage CSSR Information screen; however, Costpoint inserts a row for each branch of the project tree selected into the RPT_CSSR_LN table. You can then specify the number of levels that you want to print on the report on the Print Cost Schedule Status Report screen.

Create report tables after entering all budget information on the Manage CSSR Budgets screen or uploading it with the Import CSSR Budgets screen. To ensure the most current data, run this function after you have executed the Compute Burden Costs screen.

Identification

Use the fields in this block to create a new parameter ID or to retrieve a previously saved parameter ID. A parameter ID represents a set of screen selection parameters. After you have saved a parameter ID and its related parameters, you can retrieve them using Query.

You can use the retrieved parameters to produce reports and run processes more efficiently and with greater consistency. The saved parameters are also useful and necessary when you want to run the process as part of a batch job. Many users save a unique set of parameters for each different way they run a report or process. When you select a previously saved parameter ID or parameter description, the associated saved screen selection parameters automatically display as selection defaults. The page setup and print options are also included in the saved parameter ID if there are any. You can change any of the associated selection defaults as necessary.

Parameter ID

Enter, or click to select, a parameter ID of up to 15 alphanumeric characters. Choose characters for your parameter ID that help identify the type of selections you made in the screen, such as PERIOD or QUARTERLY.

When you save your record, all the selections made in the screen are stored with the parameter ID. Later, you can retrieve the parameter using Query.

You can use the parameter to run the process more efficiently because you can select the parameter ID with its previously defined screen selections. After the default selections display in the screen, you can override the defaults.

Description

Enter, or click to select, a parameter description of up to 30 alphanumeric characters.
