Setting Up Project Information Options

Before you can transfer project information from Costpoint to GovWin Capture Management or Deltek Resource Planning, you must use the Configure Project Options screen to define the selection criteria for the data that you want to include in the integration process.

Note: This procedure is intended to be used as a general guideline. For more information, refer to the online help of the Configure Project Options screen.

To configure your project data transfer settings:

  1. Go to the Configure Project Options screen in Costpoint Administration.
  2. Enter a value in the Parameter ID field.
    This ID must be a unique code representing your settings on the screen. You can use the parameter ID to retrieve the settings that you make by using the Query function.
  3. If necessary, select the Use Last Processed Time Stamp check box to select rows that are new or modified from the last time the integration process ran.
    Leave this check box blank if you want to include all rows that meet your other criteria regardless of the time stamp.
  4. Define the parameters in the project fields on the Selection tab to select project information by project ID. You can select the Non-Contiguous Ranges check box to create a non-contiguous range of Project IDs.
  5. From the Integration Type drop-down list on the Options tab, select the appropriate version of your GovWin Capture Management installation or Deltek Resource Planning.
    You can select one of the following options.

    If you select the Association check box in the Project Information group box, you can use the Selection tab to specify additional ranges for selecting project, employee, manager, customer, and vendor association information.

    If necessary, select the available check boxes under Custom Information in the Project Information group box to include contract, contract modification, contract PSR, and/or government contract information in the integration process. If you select the Contract PSR Information check box under Custom Information, you can use the PSR Information Options group box to indicate additional criteria for the PSR information.
