Hello,

Currently trying to update a master baseline draft, I'm trying to update and add some activities to the MS from another project, but both have different WBSs. Is there a solution or I'll have to manually update?

 

Thanks.

    if there is a baseline

    if there is a baseline attached then you can go to Maintian Baselines and select Update

    from here you can tell it what you wabt updated check the second section where it says Add new activities and activity data 

    Uncheck update exiting activities already in the baseline 

    then select Update options and select General Activity information 

    activity code assignments 

    relationships

    WBS assignmnets and anything else listed

    then select Update 

    you will receive a message Update process complete

    check your results

    Have you opened both projects

    Have you opened both projects at the same time? You can then Group by WBS or any common Activity codes they may share.

    I haven't explained the case

    I haven't explained the case well, I opened both projects, the activities in both share the same activity IDs, names etc.. (minus a few exclusions). The difference is that the WBS where these activities are stored under.

    For example

    Project (Old) : Activity 1 is under WBS 1.1.1

    Project (New) : Activity 1 is under WBS 1.2.1.1

    The problem is that There are many activities like this stranded accross multiple WBS. (I can filter them in the activities tab).

    Since I'm still developping the Baseline, no BL is attached yet.

    Hi Hamza,Probably you could

    Hi Hamza,

    Probably you could try a quick verification on your side using the Update Baseline feature as suggested by Zoltan and see what happens (make a backup of your draft baseline first). 

    The baseline to attach is basically your master baseline draft.
