Specifying whether baselines are active or inactive

You can specify whether baselines are "active" or "inactive". It is good practice to make only those baselines that you are currently using "active". If you choose to premount projects and baselines, inactive baselines are not premounted, which improves project performance. Data from inactive baselines is excluded from the user interface, except from the Baseline/What If Manager dialog itself.

To specify whether a baseline is active or inactive:

1. On the Project tab, in the Properties group, click Baseline Manager. The Baseline/What If Manager appears.
2. Select the baseline.
3. Select the Active check box to specify that the baseline is active, or clear the check box to specify that the baseline is inactive.
