Changing Baselines, export Baselines from P6 to Synchro

It would be very helpfull to add the ability to change the Baseline dates at any time we need. Just to click to baseline date cell and change it; or export to excel, change there and import back to Synchro.

And if you still cannot currently import or export baselines from P6? It's almost a year has passed since a similar request: https://construction.ideas.aha.io/ideas/SYN4D-I-97

Please, add it!

    Thanks for submitting the idea. Would you please provide a use case when you need to change baseline dates while you are already working on a schedule update?

    From my past experience, project baseline, once approved, can not and should not be changed. Unless you are referring to baseline more as a scenario. Is that the case? And can you provide specifics on how you would like to "click baseline date and change it, or export to Excel and change there and import back to Synchro." What are the exact fields that you'd like to edit for the baseline? BL start/ finish dates, BL duration? Please list all of them in this request for us to consider.

    All feature requests need to be explained with a user story, and be provided with as many details as possible before it can be considered. I hope this is understandable.

    Additionally, as previously pointed out by Kate:

    We cannot currently import or export baselines from P6.

    Workaround workflow is:

    1. Open baseline schedule as a normal project in P6 and export to XML (if using XML)

    2. Import original "baseline" schedule as a normal project (XML or database)

    3. Save baseline in Synchro

    4. Synchronise From updated current P6 schedule

    I do want to add that it is possible to restore baselined tasks then update the fields you'd like to update, later on create a new baseline. Have you used it and was this helpful at all?

    Hello!

    In my experience there were some situations when I had to adjust baseline. The reason for this could be a decision of the management or just a mistake in the planning. And sometimes we used baselines as scenarios, for sure. So, if I needed to change the baseline in Primavera, I could do it simply.

    What about Synchro it would be useful to add the possibility of changing BL start/ finish dates, BL duration.

    It would also be useful to add in baselines not only costs but resource values too.

    Thank you!
