When you update a project, the baseline and tasks
on the project grouping are updated. However, there will be times
when you will not want to update the baseline and tasks.
For
example, a developer might not want any new tasks if he is in the
middle of unit testing, but needs to pick up a dependent change from
another developer. A build manager might not want to pick up any new
tasks if he has already done an update, but needs to add a task to
fix a build.
The baseline and tasks are a part of the project
grouping; therefore, if you do not want the baseline and tasks to
be updated when you update a project, you can clear the update option
in the project grouping that the project is in.
Procedure
In the Projects explorer, right-click
over the appropriate project grouping and select Automatically
Update Baseline & Tasks. This clears the check mark
to the left of the option. Additionally, if you start the Properties dialog
box for the project grouping, notice that the Auto Update check
box is cleared. It will remain cleared until you select it or right-click
over the project grouping in the Projects explorer
and select Automatically Update Baseline & Tasks.
