In Dimensions CM, a baseline is a snapshot of the project at a particular time. You can capture and record all of the tip versions of items in a project by saving them as a baseline. Baselines ensure that the items included in the baseline can be reliably recreated in the future. For example, create a a baseline before starting a maintenance cycle to allow you the ability to return to the original set of released files.
For more information on baselines in Dimensions CM, see the Serena Dimensions CM Process Configuration Guide.
You can create the following types of baseline from any project or stream in the repositories you are connected to:
A baseline that uses a specific baseline template that determines which revisions to include, and that is scoped by design part
A design baseline that represents the current product design structure, or a part of it
A tip baseline that includes the latest revisions of all files in a project
A revised baseline, which is a baseline that is derived from an existing baseline by adding or removing item revisions that are related to requests
