Use of baselines in the grid

[Albert]

Hi,

I’m scheduling changes in the projects and I would like to show the new and old dates in the grid view. Currently I’m not getting the option so I suppose that it is not possible.
One alternative would be using a new custom field but it is a manual process.

Any suggestions?

Thanks a lot!

Best regards,
Alberto

I am not sure that I understand what is new and old date, but anyway, task table shows only one sort of dates – actual ones.

How can I make a comparison between actual vs planned?

i believe this is of the same question from Alberto.

How can I use baseline. I have click the baseline then press add…then I am still struggling what else to do so that IF I am to the change my beginning date (the new date as we are ahead the old date which is the planned date)

How to do Baseline Reporta

I am not sure that I clearly understand what do you mean when you say “baseline report”. When you create a baseline, you create a snapshot of task dates. When you change task date afterwards, the baseline dates and actual dates are shown next to each other. If some task completes later than its baseline copy, the baseline is shown in red, if the actual end date of some task is earlier than its baseline copy, the baseline is shown in green. That’s it.

ok I started to understand BASELINE.

Here are my findings:

1. Baseline is the reference of what we are planning.
2. To compare current (now) activities against planned (old=baseline) :
   a) press the button baseline > add > save and close application
   ----> do i need to close application once I add the baseline?
   ----> does applying one baseline is enough to “CAPTURE” all the
   ganttchart activities in it?
   b) open the apps
   ----> change the starting date (now/new/current activities)

do i need to close application once I add the baseline?
No

does applying one baseline is enough to “CAPTURE” all the
ganttchart activities in it?

I am not sure that I understand the question. What do you mean when you say “applying” and “capture”?
