Handle Changes

Explanation

When setting a new baseline, the values for baseline cost and hours are set to be identical to the budget cost and hours. Similarly, the baseline dates are set to be identical to the early start and finish dates. However it is common that the planned values or early dates will continue to be updated even though a baseline has been set, and changed or new activities will be marked as changed. Perform this activity to find which activities have been changed after the last baseline revision has been created, in order to assess if a new baseline needs to be set or if there are other consequences of the changes.

Subsequently, when setting a new baseline, the new baseline revision will be shown on all such activities which had been changed or added. This field gives information about which baseline revision the activity first appears with its current baseline values or baseline dates.

Make a change to an existing activity or create a new activity and observe the value changes to Yes in Activity Changed field. Set a new Baseline Revision and observe the value in the Activity Changed field is set to No and Set in Baseline field updated with the new revision number.
