Baseline

Before you start executing your project, you may want to set a snapshot in time so that you can compare it with your updated schedule. As your project progresses, this reference point helps you track what was originally planned and what changed on the project. 

Celoxis allows you to create a single baseline for your project of schedules, tasks and cost information in your project plan at that point of time. You can create baseline on two options

1. Baseline for all tasks in the project.
2. Baseline for the selected tasks in the project.

To Set a baseline :

1. Navigate to your project.
2. Go to the Interactive Gantt chart for your project.
3. Under the Gantt options, click on More.
4. Under it click on Baseline.
5. Click on Set. Select the appropriate option.
   Clicking on  Project, baselines all the tasks in your project. If you need to baseline specific tasks, select them before you click on Selected Tasks.
6. An appropriate message is shown to confirm your clicks. Saving this will baseline your project or selected tasks in the project.
