Baseline set definitions and baseline sets

A baseline set definition is a list of the modules that you want to treat as a unit for project planning and project management purposes. The definition can include modules from any project or folder in the database. From the definition, you can create a baseline set for each phase of the project. A baseline set gives a snapshot of the data in the modules and the links that existed between them when the baseline set was closed.

Details about each baseline set that is created from the definition is stored with the definition. At the end of the project, you have a complete list of the baseline sets that have been created for each phase of the development, and the baselines that have been created in those sets. Baseline sets can include any of the modules that are included in the definition when the baseline set is created.

Modules can be included in more than one baseline set. Module baselines can be created as part of any of the baseline sets that the module belongs to, or as stand-alone baselines. Links between the baselines of modules are only recorded if both of the baselines are in the same baseline set.
