Schedule Projects › Baseline Projects › Set Baselines

Set Baselines

Use the Multiple Baselines dialog box to set baselines and to re-baseline your project. This dialog box lists the baselines that you have already set on the project. When you set a new baseline, its default name is Baseline1 and it is marked as the current baseline. If the project already has a baseline named Baseline1, then when you set a new baseline its name is Baseline2. You can edit the name after you capture the baseline.

You must select all levels of the WBS to re-baseline your project. When you re-baseline tasks that have changed—such as changes to a resource's ETC—the data is not rolled up to the summary task level. Data, however, is rolled down to a phase's tasks when you re-baseline at the summary task level.

   The Multiple Baselines dialog box opens.
