Version: TeamForge 23.0

Project Baseline Definition

Prerequisite: You must have Project Baseline Definition permission to view/access Settings > Project Baseline Definition and to create and edit a Project Baseline Definition.

Project Baseline Definitions can include one or more Baseline Definitions too, in which case the Project Baseline Definition would be derived as a union of the native filter conditions as defined in the project Baseline Definition and the filter conditions of the selected Baseline Definitions.
A TeamForge project can have only one Project Baseline Definition.
A Project Baseline Definition can be modified whenever required.

Create a New Project Baseline Definition

You can now create a Project Baseline Definition for a given project. Unlike the Baseline Definitions, you can create only one Project Baseline Definition for a specific project. Based on the Project Baseline Definition, you can create Project Baselines.

To create a new Project Baseline Definition:

Log on to TeamForge.
Select a project from My Workspace.
Click Baselines from the Project Home menu.
Click Settings > Project Baseline Definition from the side navigation menu.
Enter a name and description.
Select one or more Baseline Definition(s) from the Include Definitions drop-down list. Click the selected Baseline Definition to view it.

note
Include Definitions drop-down list lists all the Baseline Definitions in a project.

You can search for the Baseline Definitions that are not listed in the Include Definitions drop-down list. Only two selected Baseline Definitions can be shown at a time. To see the complete list of selected Baseline Definitions, click + More in the Include Definitions drop-down list.
Define the filter criteria.

You can define the filter criteria for Trackers, Documents, Source Code Repositories, File Releases and Binaries. Select the following tabs to view instructions.
1. Select the tracker type(s) from the Tracker Type drop-down list.
2. Click Add Filter(s).
  
  Attribute--Select a tracker attribute from the drop-down list.
  
  Condition--Select a condition from the drop-down list.
  
  Value--For the selected attribute, either select one or more values or enter a value.
  
  For example, the following filter includes all the Closed tracker artifacts in the baseline.
3. Click Add "AND" Condition to add more constraints to the filter criteria.
4. Repeat steps b and c to add more filters.
  
  You can click the remove icon ( ) next to a filter criteria to remove it.
5. Select the planning folder. Selecting the parent/root planning folder shows all its child/sub folders. For folders with sub folders, click More to view the complete folder structure and select the required folders. To view the filtered list of artifacts, click the view icon ( ) in the TRACKER/PLANNING FOLDER section. The Tracker/PlanningFolder Preview dialog box appears.
  
  You can also do a keyword search by clicking the search icon ( ) on the Tracker/PlanningFolder Preview dialog box.
1. Select the document folder.
  
  For folders with sub folders, click More to view the complete folder structure and select the required sub folders.
2. Select the document version.
3. Click Add Filter(s).
  
  Attribute--Select an attribute from the drop-down list.
  
  Condition--Select a condition from the drop-down list.

1. Select a repository from the Repository/Source Name drop-down list. Select the repository again if you want to clear your selection.
2. Select a tag for the selected repository. Select the tag again if you want to clear your selection.
  
  Tagging is one of the features of version control systems that lets you mark particular revisions (for example, a release version)—so that you can recreate a certain build or environment at a later point in time.
  
  The Select Tag drop-down list shows all the tags you have for the selected Git or Subversion repository.
  
  For Subversion repositories, the list of tags comes from the /tags directory of the repository.
  
  For more information about SVN tags, see Branching / Tagging.
  
  You can click the View Tag link to view the tag details.
3. Click Add another Repository to add more repositories.
Select the package or the release name from the Package/Release Name drop-down list.
To view the filtered list of files, click the view icon ( ) in the File Releases section.
You can also do a keyword search by clicking the search icon ( ) on the File Releases dialog box.
warning
Projects created via the Project Baseline supports only Nexus 3 binary repositories. Nexus Maven2 and Raw formatted Proxy, Hosted and Group types of repositories are only supported.
Select the server and repository from the Server and Repository drop-down lists, and select one or more packages from the Select Packages drop-down list.
- The Select Packages drop-down list lets you search for packages using glob patterns.
- The Select Packages drop-down list loads the first 100 packages to start with.
- You must search for packages using file path glob patterns if you do not find what you are looking for.
- For example, use the com/**/*.jar glob pattern to recursively search for JAR files in the com folder.
Select one or more [External Baselines][baseline-overview.html#externalbaseline] from the External Baselines drop-down list.

You can click the selected External Baseline to view it.

You can also search for the External Baselines that are not listed in the External Baselines drop-down list. Only two selected External Baselines can be shown at a time. To see the complete list of selected Baseline Definitions, click + More in the External Baselines drop-down list.
