Create a baseline

Procedure Ensure you are logged on to an account that has Author privileges. In the product structure tree, display the top line item revision of the structure you want to capture and choose Tools→Baseline. Teamcenter displays the Baseline dialog box. In the dialog box, fill in the following boxes: Baseline Rev ID This is generated according to naming rules defined in the Business Modeler IDE. You cannot change the displayed value. Description Type a description that is stored with the baseline. Baseline Template Select a release procedure template from the list. The list does not show templates that are in edit mode. The default Workflow process is TC Default Baseline Process. The workflow process used for baselines must not include any sign-offs. Job Name Teamcenter generates this name in the format Baseline_ItemID_BaselineRevID. Baseline Label (optional) Enter an alphanumeric string that represents the baseline label. Teamcenter uses the label you enter as the name of the baseline folder. This box is displayed only if your site uses baseline labels. Job Description Enter a description of the baseline job. In the dialog box, select one or more of the following check boxes, and then click OK to create a baseline or dry run: Open on Create Opens the baseline automatically after it is created. Dry Run Creation Creates a report. Precise Baseline Selects the type of baseline to create—precise or imprecise. Your site may be configured to allow only precise baselines, depending on the setting of the Baseline_precise_bvr user preference. Depending on a preference setting by the administrator, and if you created an imprecise baseline, Teamcenter also creates a snapshot folder under the baselined item revision.
