How to set up classifications to leave the original Baseline intact and only update the current Baseline

When multiple baselines are captured, there can sometimes be a requirement for preserving the initially saved baseline. It is possible to configure the baseline in such a way that two types of records are maintained: the original baseline which cannot be updated, an updatable baseline. You can opt to have both versions as well. 

The Baselines tab within the initiative classifications settings page allows you to indicate how baselines should be recorded. Under this tab, you can:

• enable baselines
• record a baseline that allows updates and additions
• record a baseline that cannot be modified 
  

To configure baselines:

1. Navigate to the relevant initiative classification Edit page.
2. Click on the Baseline tab.
3. Put a tick in the Enable Baselines checkbox. 
4. Three options enable baseline recording.
   By default, the Record a baseline that allows updates and additions checkbox is selected. This will allow the users to add and update baselines. This baseline will be mutable at all times. 
   
   If you select Record a baseline that cannot be modified, it will mean that the users can only set a single initial baseline that cannot be updated later. The Update Baseline option in the hamburger menu and the Save Schedule & Update Baseline option in the Schedules page will not be available.
   
   If you select both Record a baseline that allows updates and additions and Record a baseline that cannot be modified,  the initial baseline will not be modified but maintained as a separate record and updates will be applied to the baseline version that allows updates. 
   
   
5. Click the Save button to save the settings.

Users will now be able to see the Baselines section on all initiatives' Properties tab for the current classification.  If a baseline is mutable and has been updated, the Received Updates and Show Updates columns will show a tick mark. You can now see the updated baseline on all the relevant dashboards.
