Project baseline - is there a way to schedule a baseline?

skendy · ‎02-16-2015

Hi,

I have been asked if there is a way to schedule (or an automatic procedure) a baseline in the project related lists?

I was thinking a kind of any specified date or time to have a 'snapshot' of the project tasks state and actual dates and progress.

I suggested scheduling reports, but it is not the same thing...

Thank you for any help,

Skender

Change this line as per your requirement

projects.addEncodedQuery("active=true^state=1");

Baselines parent table is 'planned_task_baseline'. The script is for creation of baselines . You may run a scheduled report to automatically retrieve the data

Hi Skender,

There is already and OOB related list on projects called "Baseline" , you can use it to efficiently create and use project baselines.

Hi Anurag,

Yes, I have already added it,

but I was thinking of an automatic baseline (like the scheduled reports).

Anyway, is a P3 priority for the client.

Thank you,

You may open this UI page 'create_baseline' and check its processing script .. Make use of the same in a scheduled job to automate the process of baseline creation

Hi Kalai,

Yes I understand and I appreciate your suggestion

but I am no expert in scripting and I do not want to make any damage now...

Do you have any example of such script?

The only requisite is to schedule the baseline every Friday night (for example)...

Thanks,

Skender
