SUMMARY

If you delete or archive a subtask and have saved the baseline data for that task's summary task, the baseline information for the summary task does not take the deletion into account and may appear to be incorrect. This affects all baseline fields.

MORE INFORMATION

Baseline data is set by clicking Set Baseline on the Tools menu. The mechanics of this process is that all schedule information gets copied into the related baseline field: Start into Baseline Start, and so on.

Baseline data is never dynamically recalculated and is not rolled-up to the summary task. Changes to a subtask's baseline data are not reflected in the summary tasks baseline data unless the summary task's baseline is reset.

To reset a summary task's baseline fields once a subtask has changed or been removed, select the summary task, click Set Baseline on the Tools menu, and in the Set Baseline dialog box, click to select the "For Selected Tasks Only" option.
