Add an Activity from the Current Schedule to a Baseline

As your project progresses, new activities may need to be added to the project. These new activities will not automatically appear in existing baselines. However, if a baseline requires these activities, you can add them from the current schedule to the baseline. This feature enables you to update an existing baseline with new activities without having to create a new baseline that would reflect current progress.

The Get Activities dialog box displays activities that exist in your current schedule but do not exist in the baseline. The activities that you select in the dialog box will be added to your baseline. All of an activity's data will also be added, including dates, durations, units, costs, relationships, resource, role, and scope assignments, risks, codes, and configured fields. Activities in the selection with the same ID as an activity already in the baseline will not be added. When activity date indicators are enabled, visual indicators are displayed when a constraint is configured for the activity or if an actual start date or actual finish date is set.

You can add up to 100 activities from the current schedule to a baseline at one time. You must have the required security privileges to add and edit activity data for a baseline.

1. Navigate to the project Activities page
   1. In the object selector, select ﱆ Project, select View Projects List, and then select a project name.
