Tips on using this forum..

(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

When you make a project a baseline to another project it disappears from the EPS until it is restored. Is it possible to view all of the project that are currently baselines (and so not in the EPS), without going into every project to find them.

Zoltan,

 

You can add a column that gives you the name of the Project Baseline (not the ID) and the Date Date of that baseline only. There's no way from the Projects view of seeing a complete list of all attached baselines and their ID's

the other way is at the project level screen add the column entitled Basline and it will show if a baseline is attached

Brian,

It can be done by using the P6 Reports function. Here's a quick guide that'll get you started.

1) Switch to the Reports from the Menu TOOLS>REPORTS

2) Create a new report by slicking on the Plus sign or (add from the right click context menu)

3) Select "New Report"

4) In the Select Subect Area window, scroll down to "Projects" and click Next

5) on the next screen you'll see a list of additional subject areas that can be added, scroll down until you find "Project Baselines" and then add this to the right side screen so you have a two-level hierarchy of selected Subect Areas: Projects + Project Baseline, then click on NEXT

6) On this screen, you click on "Projects" and the click on Columns to select the project data you want to include (Eg. Project ID, name, data date etc). Then click on "Project Baselines" and do the same. You can just accept the defaults for now. Then click on NEXT

7) Give the Report a Name that you'll recognise easily, and click on NEXT.

8) Click on "Run Report" and then select Print Preview to view the list on screen

9) If you want to export the list to a cSV file, you select "Delimited Text File" and select a location to push the list out to

10) hit the back button back to the columns/Group and sort/filter options for each level if you need.

When you're happy with the report, hit next next next until you get to "save report" and then Finish.
