Can anyone please explain me the meaning of a baseline version (related to an update set) and also what does this line implies - You can revert to the most recent base version.

Can anyone give me some examples in support.

Thanks.

Hi Snowlearner,



There is a definition here of what a baseline version record is.


So perhaps helps answer your question?



Versions - ServiceNow Wiki


..


2 Version Records

The Update Versions [sys_update_version] table contains records that represent the state of a customizable object at a given point in time. A customizable record is any object that is tracked by update sets, such as business rules or script includes. A new version record is created automatically whenever a user changes a customizable record or changes the application file for the customizable record.


A baseline version record represents the version of a base system object as it was delivered in the most recent upgrade. Baseline versions are created only for objects that have been modified by a user, and they are updated each time the system is upgraded. In versions prior to the Dublin release, baseline versions are created for every customizable record. Baseline versions allow you to revert customizations to the most recent system version.



Best Regards



Tony
