Structures Setup
The C*CERT+ Navigation provides a Setup group which is where all of the Report Configuration, Meta Data and Structures are created. Most of this area is typcially non-recurring effort - but can be updated at any time.
FlexFile Mappings
The Mappings group is where the Report Configuration/Setup and Source Data come together. All of the Mapping user interfaces can be exported out to a user friendly Excel Template, updated and then imported back in.
The C*CERT+ Standard Category Mapping Rules is a feature that is highly recommended. Using this feature has proven, time and time again, to save a tremendous amount of time and costs.

Export Import

Each FlexFile Validation is presented within its own Data Grid.
Enter WBS/Summary Remarks directly within the Validation module for every applicable validation and WBS elements!
