Setting a Project Baseline
After you’ve finalized the details of your project, you can set a project baseline. This baseline is a snapshot of your original estimates before any work starts, so you can compare it to actual work and any schedule changes as the project moves forward.
Only users with Edit or Full permission for Projects can set a project baseline.
To set a project baseline:
-
Go to Lists > Relationships > Projects and click View next to the project for which you want to set a baseline.
-
On the project record, click Set Baseline.
Now, the baseline data is recorded. The project record now shows a Last Baseline Date field in the header that displays the date you most recently set a baseline.
If you need to reset the baseline data for a project, you can click Set Baseline again. The data previously stored in the baseline fields will be overwritten with the latest data.
