Costpoint Visual Settings Guide
A visual walkthrough of every Deltek Costpoint integration setting in Mosaic
What this page covers: This guide walks through each provisioning setting available in the Deltek Costpoint integration. Use it to plan your configuration before onboarding, reference during setup, or review when adjusting settings later.
| Applies to | Deltek Costpoint Cloud (ODBC) |
| When to use | Before onboarding, during setup, or when changing settings |

Overview
These provisioning settings control how data flows between Deltek Costpoint and Mosaic. Each setting determines whether a specific data type is transferred, how it is mapped, and what values are used.
The Costpoint integration uses a read-only ODBC connection to access your Costpoint Cloud database. Mosaic reads from the Project Master, Employee, Organization, Timesheet, and Project Labor Category tables.
The choices you make here should align with the Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) discussed with your Customer Success Manager (CSM). These settings bring in the data to match your expected workflows.
Before you apply settings: Selecting Transfer or Automatically linked for Projects and Phases will immediately begin syncing all matching records. It is strongly recommended to save as draft first, then apply after your onboarding/SOP call with your CSM and Solutions Engineers.
About "Transfer updates from today forward": Once saved, this option displays the date the setting was last changed — for example, Transfer updates from 8/19/2026 forward. The date is shown for reference only; it is not enforced as a sync cut-off.

Connection
Connection Settings
1. ODBC Connection Credentials
In Mosaic
Connection Credentials allow Mosaic to authenticate against your Costpoint Cloud ODBC endpoint. Costpoint Cloud exposes a read-only ODBC connection that Mosaic uses to query the underlying tables.
In Costpoint: ODBC connectivity is provisioned by Deltek as part of your Costpoint Cloud subscription. Your Costpoint administrator or Deltek Cloud Operations team provides the ODBC server URL, data source names, and credentials for a dedicated read-only user.
Fields
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Server URL | The Costpoint Cloud ODBC server URL provided by Deltek (begins with hdp3-usea-cp...). |
| Username | The Costpoint user account with read access to the integration tables. |
| ODBC Password | The password for the ODBC user account. Encrypted at rest. |
| Transaction Data Source | The Costpoint transaction schema data source name (begins with CPTRAN...). |
| Time Entry Data Source | The Time & Expense transaction schema data source name (begins with TE...). |
To Get Started
- Follow the full setup instructions in the Costpoint Cloud Integration Setup guide.
- Coordinate with your Deltek Cloud Operations team to provision the ODBC endpoint and a dedicated read-only user.
- Provide the credentials to the Mosaic Solutions team — they are stored encrypted at rest.
After entering your credentials, click Test Connection to verify connectivity. If the test fails, refer to the Costpoint Cloud ODBC Troubleshooting guide.
ODBC credentials may rotate or expire. Periodically return to this section to update credentials so syncing is not interrupted.
2. Connection Name (optional)
In Mosaic
An optional name for this connection. It distinguishes this connection from other Deltek Costpoint connections on the same team, and appears wherever the connection is referenced in Mosaic. Leave it blank to show none.
This is a text input with a 50-character limit — for example, Houston Office.
Members
Members in Mosaic represent the people in your organization — your Costpoint employees. Each Member must be manually linked in Mosaic to their corresponding Costpoint Employee record.
Member Settings
1. Standard Roles
In Mosaic
Controls whether Costpoint Standard Roles are transferred to Mosaic as organization-level Roles. Transferring Standard Roles is required for syncing Labor Billing Terms, and transferred values overwrite Standard Roles in Mosaic.
Setting Options
- Transfer updates from today forward — Deltek Costpoint Standard Roles will be transferred to Mosaic after changes in Deltek Costpoint. Required for syncing Labor Billing Terms. This setting will overwrite Standard Roles on Mosaic.
- Do not transfer (recommended) — Deltek Costpoint Standard Roles will not be transferred to Mosaic. Select this option if manual management in Mosaic is preferred.
2. Default Roles
In Mosaic
Controls whether each Member's Default Org Role is transferred to Mosaic. Transferring is required for syncing Labor Billing Terms, and transferred values overwrite Member Default Org Roles in Mosaic.
Setting Options
- Transfer updates from today forward — Deltek Costpoint Member Default Org Roles will be transferred to Mosaic after changes in Deltek Costpoint. This is required for syncing Labor Billing Terms. This setting will overwrite Member Default Org Roles on Mosaic.
- Transfer one time at first link — Deltek Costpoint Member Org Roles will only be transferred to Mosaic when the Deltek Costpoint Member is first linked.
- Do not transfer (recommended) — Deltek Costpoint Member Org Roles will not be transferred to Mosaic. Select this option if manual management in Mosaic is preferred.
3. Employee Archive Status
In Mosaic
Determines whether Employee archive statuses from Costpoint are applied to the corresponding Mosaic Members. When transferring, the archive status of all currently transferred Members is overwritten and further Costpoint updates continue to flow to Mosaic.
Setting Options
- Transfer all + updates — Deltek Costpoint Employee Archive Statuses will be transferred to Mosaic for all currently transferred Members. Additional updates in Deltek Costpoint will also be transferred. This setting will overwrite Archive Status on Mosaic.
- Do not transfer (recommended) — Deltek Costpoint Employee Archive Statuses will not be transferred to Mosaic. Select this option if manual management in Mosaic is preferred.
Portfolios
Portfolio Settings
1. Default for new Projects
In Mosaic
A Portfolio is a folder used to organize multiple Projects. This setting determines which Portfolio newly linked Costpoint Projects are placed into by default.
In Costpoint: There is no direct equivalent to Portfolios.
Setting Options
- No Portfolio (default)
- Import
- [Your Portfolios]
Projects
Project Settings
1. Linking Method
In Mosaic
This setting determines how Costpoint Projects are connected to Mosaic.
In Costpoint: Projects live in the Project Master. Costpoint uses a hierarchical Project ID structure (Level 1 = Client, Level 2 = Project, Level 3 = Phase, Level 4 = Subphase).
Setting Options
- Manually linked — No Projects will be automatically linked.
- Automatically linked (recommended) — All Projects that meet the criteria specified in the Automatic Linking Filter will be automatically linked. Projects that do not meet the criteria may be manually linked.
2. Linked Project and Phase Titles
Setting Options
- Overwrite (recommended) — Mosaic Project and Phase titles will match the Deltek Costpoint Project and Phase titles after changes in Deltek Costpoint. If a linked Mosaic Project or Phase title is edited in Mosaic, it may not match the title of the Deltek Costpoint Project or Phase until any value of the Project or Phase is changed in Deltek Costpoint.
- Do not overwrite — If a Mosaic Project or Phase title is edited, it may not match the Deltek Costpoint Project or Phase title making it hard to uniquely identify matching Projects.
3. Linked Project and Phase Ref #s
In Mosaic
Reference numbers (Ref #s) uniquely identify Projects and Phases. This setting controls whether the Deltek Costpoint Project and Phase numbers overwrite the Ref #s on linked Mosaic Projects and Phases.
This setting is being rolled out gradually. If you do not see it in your integration settings yet, contact your Customer Success Manager.
Setting Options
- Overwrite (recommended) — Mosaic Project and Phase Ref #s will match the Deltek Costpoint Project and Phase Ref #s after changes in Deltek Costpoint. If a linked Mosaic Project or Phase Ref # is edited in Mosaic, it may not match the Ref # of the Deltek Costpoint Project or Phase until any value of the Project or Phase is changed in Deltek Costpoint.
- Do not overwrite — If a Mosaic Project or Phase Ref # is edited, it may not match the Deltek Costpoint Project or Phase Ref # making it hard to uniquely identify matching Projects.
4. Project and Phase Billable
