Assign a P6 Baseline to a P6 Schedule

Assign a P6 baseline to a P6 schedule. Assigning a P6 baseline to a P6 schedule allows you to compare baseline data with the current schedule.

To assign a P6 baseline to a P6 schedule, 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.
    • Select the P6 project in the Projects pane and click Get External Data From > Oracle Primavera > Assign / Change Baseline.
  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.

Baselines can be reassigned, assigned, added, or deleted by right-clicking on the Primavera project.

After you assign a baseline, you can add the Baseline Project Time Now and Baseline WBS Code columns to the S1 // Projects Activities grid. The Baseline Project Time Now column displays the Time Now date from the assigned baseline project and is useful if, for example, you want to see if activities that are in the baseline but no longer in the project should have been completed. The Baseline WBS Code column displays the WBS code on the baseline activities. These fields are also available to use in metrics and on the S2 // Diagnostics tab, as well as in reports.
