Meaning of current date vs status date when saving baselines
Hello,
After I scheduled a project beginning of this january, which was supposed to start at that time, nothing happened on the job and I also did not update my schedule either. I also had not saved any baseline at that time. Now it is a month later and the job is starting and I was told to save a baseline showing our original plan start dates of beginning of january, like in the original schedule I made. But of course when I reopened my project file right now, it is showing the current date of beginning of february, and no status date as I did not assign any before. Now when I want to save a baseline with the january start dates, do I need to make the current date back to beginning of january? Or the current date can stay as today, beginning of february, because the status date is still showing n/a anyway and when I save the original baseline it will still save everything with the data I made a month ago? Because right now the only change in the entire file is the current date, I have not made any changes at all yet. So when I save baseline it will save the original dates of january start correct? And then I was told to save a 2nd baseline, which should reflect the start date of actual condition, which is today. So to do that, after saving basline1, I will first make the status date today, and schedule all activities not started to start after status date, and then I will need to save baseline 1 correct? Thanks |

If you have not updated your schedule, since January, then now is the time to save the baseline. The current date is not utilized when you save the baseline. The baseline will just copy start/finish/work/duration/cost for all tasks as they are right now.
