Baseline symbols

Question:

I have created a schedule for proposal purposes, and I want to turn it over to the execution team. The execution team wants to be able to maintain the original schedule bars, but include actual bars that they can status. What's the best way to do this?

Answer:

The best way to do this is to use Baseline Symbol types for the original bars and then use Normal symbol types for the actual bars. You can also lock, highlight, hide/show the baseline bars after creating them.

Use the Baseline Setup Wizard to create standard baseline symbology (this link also provides a good example of using baseline)
