Assign a Primavera file as Both a Snapshot and Baseline

Assign a Primavera file as both a snapshot and a baseline at the same time. A snapshot allows comparisons between versions of a single project. Assigning a P6 baseline to a P6 schedule allows you to compare baseline data with the current schedule.

To assign a Primavera file as both a snapshot and a baseline, complete the following steps:

1. Select the S1 // Projects tab.
2. Do one of the following:
   • In the Projects pane, right-click on the P6 project and select Assign Baseline and Add Snapshot.
   • Select the P6 project in the Projects pane and click Get External Data From > Oracle Primavera > Assign / Change Baseline and Add Snapshot.
3. On the Open dialog box, select the P6 XER that you want to set as the baseline project. After it is assigned, a black B () displays on the Primavera P6 file icon in the Projects panel of the workbook to show that it has an assigned baseline.
4. Import the project data to import both the project and baseline files together.
