Create and View Baselines
Create a Baseline when you accomplish specific milestones in your project or when you release or deliver a product. You can create a Baseline from either a Baseline Definition or from the ground up.
Create and View Project Baselines
A Project Baseline is a baseline created on a project at a given point in time. Once you have Project Baselines created, you can kick start new projects from Project Baselines and proceed from when and where the Project Baselines were created in the past. Project Baselines are typically created using Project Baseline Definitions, when you release or deliver a product. You can create as many Project Baselines as required.
Create, View, and Delete Baseline Definitions
A Baseline Definition is the filter criteria that is used to create a Baseline from a set of selected configuration items such as Tracker Artifacts, Documents, Source Code Repositories (only Git and Subversion are supported), File Releases, and Binaries (only Nexus binaries are supported) in a given TeamForge project.
Edit Baseline Definitions
You can edit an existing Baseline Definition to add more filter criteria or modify the existing fields and filter criteria.
Edit Baselines
You can edit the existing fields in a Baseline as long as the Baseline is in open status. A Baseline cannot be edited after it is approved or rejected.
