To save the Baseline:

  1. Go to the grid options menu Grid_Options_Hamburger.png and select Save Baseline. The Save Baseline form will open.

  2. Complete the Save Baseline form.

    • Baseline Method: Select All Tasks.

    • Baseline: Select Baseline (0).

      Note

      OnePlan allows you to save up to 11 baselines.

      Note

      Baseline (0) is where one plan captures and stores data used for reporting purposes. So it's really important that when you save your Baseline, save Baseline (0).

      Note

      The other baselines are important because they are then used for historical purposes to compare the project performance against the current Baseline.

  3. Click Save. You will be asked if you want to save the current Baseline. Click, Yes, and then OnePlan saves the Baseline.

Note

We also recommend saving an additional baseline (Baseline (1) in this example). Baseline (1) now becomes something that you can save for historical purposes. Additional baselines give you that history that you'll be able to save, should you encounter situation where you need to rebaseline and then at that point you would use Baseline (0) to be the baseline for taking another snapshot of your schedule.

To show your saved baseline in the Gantt:

  • Go to the grid option menu and select Gantt > Show Baseline. The Gantt will open. You should see gray bars beneath the original Gantt bars and that show you that Baseline (0) has been captured.
