Baseline Information Page

A baseline is a snapshot of an evolving collection of Windchill objects and their status at specific points in time. The baseline information page is a collection point for information related to the baseline. Click the information icon

next to a baseline when it appears in a table to view its information page.

From the information page, you can perform actions on a baseline, as well as view its attributes and any related information. For an overview of information page functionality, see About Information Pages and Customizing Information Page Tabs.

The availability of these actions depends on the object status and your access to it. Not all actions display for every user. Permissions, roles, and teams all affect action display. For more information, see Object Status and Understanding Data Accessibility.
