I am a newbie to projectlibre, although I find I can learn from MSproject as it is very close.
What I would like to know, what is a baselind and tips tell me to save one. What does that mean and what does it do?
Thanks
Lowell

Hello Lowell76, The tips
Hello Lowell76, The tips present in ProjectLibre is a tutorial that explains the main features of the software. A related tip the Baseline is this: It is always a good practice to save a baseline for your project. The ProjectLibre lets you save up to 11 baselines which can be shown in the Gantt chart and used for Analysis of Value Added. Conceptually a baseline is a photo of your planning. To save a baseline visit the Project Guide - Save Baseline. After performing this operation enter the columns related to the number of baseline. To insert a column right click on a column - Insert Column. We cost fields of the baseline and other information that may help you during the planning of their projects. I hope i help.
Dates change
entered all the task information that I need and some Resources. when I change to date to when the project takes place, it will just change back. Very fustraing. Is this the same a MSProject?
Almost time to look somewhere else.
Baseline
Would maybe suggest a feature which is "annotate" baselines.
this helps us keeping track on what's changed. Or facilitate Change Configuration which tells us why a new baseline is created or altered.
Good point
That is a good suggestion!
Comparing baselines
Is there any easy way to report on slippages against baseline, or show the differences between one baseline and another, in ProjectLibre?
I can insert filed like "Baseline duration" / "Basleine 1 duration" into a GANTT and cut & paste them into Excel & produce reports from there, but it's all rather clumsy
Yes, you can compare
Yes, you can do a baseline and then change the project and save Baseline 1-10 You can insert a column in the spreadsheet with various Baseline measures for the different baselines saved
