How to lock baseline so that user won't overwrite

[aSoundMind]

Hi there,

I have a graphical indicator formula which calculates the daya
variance between current date and the baseline. The formula is working
fine. My concern is when the user manipulates the saving baseline
feature in project pro so it overwrites the previous one.

Now I want to ask how to lock that baseline so that the user can't
overwrite them. It is ok if they want to save their project baseline
to baseline1, baseline2 and so on. But the baseline field must not be
overwrite. So is it possible to achieve this and how? Thanks in
advance.

Regards,
Jack

Sorry, it can't be achieved. Most people don't realise that there are
baselines 1-10 so you could be sneaky and copy baseline to baseline10 then
change your indicators to work on Baseline10!

Hi Rod Gil,

How do you control the user to save on baseline 10?
Even if there is a way to copy the baseline content to baseline 10,
how do you get the content of baseline 10 in project server database?

i forgot to mention that I also developed a similar logic to be
displayed on custom report. This custom report takes some fields like
task_base_start and task_base_finish from project server database.

I am not sure if baseline 10 is saved on projectserver database.
Please assist. Thanks

Which Version or Project Server? In 2003 look at the MSP_View tables ending
in Task_Ent, in 2007 look at the MSP_EpmTask_UserView View in the Reporting
database.

You can't control access to Baseline10, I suggested it only because most
users do not know it exists, let alone know how to find out if it has been
used! It's secure only because it is seemingly hidden!
