Creating baseline sets

Once you have created your baseline set definition, you create a baseline set. The baseline set provides the baseline version number, baseline suffix, and baseline description for each of the modules that you baseline to the set.

Before you begin

You must create the baseline set definition before you can create a baseline set.

Add all the modules that you want to include in the baseline set to the baseline set definition before you create the baseline set. You cannot add modules to the baseline set definition when a baseline set is open. You can add more modules when the set is closed.

About this task

You can have one open baseline set associated with each baseline set definition. If the baseline set definition has an open baseline set, it must be closed before a new baseline set can be created.

Baselines of modules that are included in the baseline set can be created in the baseline set, or independently of the baseline set.

Procedure

  1. Select the project that contains the baseline set definition that you want to use and right-click Properties.
  2. On the Baseline Set Definitions tab, select the definition that you want to use for your baseline set and then click Create Set.
  3. On the New Baseline Set window, select a version for the baseline set and optionally type a suffix and a description. If you type a suffix, each baseline that is created in the baseline set includes the suffix. The suffix lets you easily identify the baselines that belong to a baseline set.
  4. Click OK to create the baseline set.
