Introduction
To assess the performance of the project over time, you can set baselines and track deviations from the initial schedule.
You can create and delete baselines for all the tasks in the scope of the box or selected tasks only. Baselines are displayed as bold lines and show the position of the task at the moment of creating the baseline.
Baseline start date and Baseline end date fields determine the start and end position of the task’s baseline on the timeline.
Baseline fields in column views
The Baseline start date and Baseline end date built-in fields can be used when synchronizing with different tools. These fields show the baselines from all connected platforms in a single column.
Actions on baselines
Baselines work for tasks that have start and end dates. Baselines CANNOT be created for a task with only one date.View baselines
