Creating Baselines

Create baselines to measure project performance.

To create a baseline:

  1. Open the project or projects for which you want to create a baseline using one of the following methods:
    • Click "" Projects to open the last project or group of projects you were working with.
    • Click the "" Projects menu and select one of the most-recently used projects or group of projects.
    • Click the "" Projects menu and select Open Projects to select a project or group of projects by portfolio type, EPS node, or project code.
  2. On the Project Navigation bar, click "" Activities or "" EPS.
  3. On the Activities or EPS page, click the Actions menu and select "" Define Baselines....
  4. In the Baselines dialog box:
    1. Select the project to which you will add the baseline.
    2. Click "" Add Baseline.
    3. Enter a name in the Baseline Name field.
    4. Select a type from the Baseline Type list.
    5. Click "" Save (Ctrl+S).

Tips

  • The application automatically assigns the baseline a name based on the selected project. For example, if you select Project A, the application will name the newly created baseline A - B1.
  • Specify the default Project Baseline and User's Primary Baseline by selecting from the list of available baselines for each project in the table on the Baselines dialog box.
  • Click Convert a Project to Baseline and select a project to convert a project into a baseline.
  • Select a baseline and click Restore a Baseline to remove the baseline and make it a project.
