Actioning a Baseline

Purpose

Use this operation to move the baseline from one lifecycle state to the next lifecycle state.

NOTE Dimensions CM Deployment model only: if you are actioning a baseline to a lifecycle state that is associated with a stage in the Global Stage Lifecycle, it will also be promoted to that stage. If there are any default areas associated with the project/stream, the item files will automatically be deployed to those areas.

PRIVILEGES
Action Baseline to Next State to action a baseline to a valid next state.
Action Baseline to Any State to action a baseline to a lifecycle state without a valid transition.

To action one or more baselines:

Select one or more baselines.
Click the Action button.
For New State, select a lifecycle state:

If you are actioning a single baseline, either select To next state and select a valid next state from the corresponding list, or select To specific state and select a lifecycle state from that list. (You will require the necessary privilege to action to a state other than a valid next state.)
If you are actioning multiple baselines, either select Next normal state or select Named state and type a lifecycle state. You must type a common lifecycle state for all baselines.

If you want to initiate a build for the items in the baseline, check the Start build after action check box.

NOTE Only items that are associated with a target definition file have this build option. For further details on building items, see About Dimensions Build.
