Action Baseline Items Dialog Box

Use this dialog box to move one or more items in a baseline to a new lifecycle state.

If the items are being actioned to a lifecycle state that is associated with a stage in the Global Stage Lifecycle, they 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.
