Tag List Editor Lesson 2 – Loading Baselines

In this lesson, we will learn how to load the most recent baselines of modules in a tag list, as well as entire baseline set.

Quick description of the Tag List Editor baseline tab parts:
  1. Baselines Tab
    This tab contains two buttons for loading baselines of modules in the module list.
  2. Load Most Recent Baselines Button
    This button will load the most recent baseline of each module in the module list.
  3. Load Baseline Set Button
    This button will launch a new dialog to choose a baseline set to load into the module list.
To begin the process of loading a baseline set, press the Load Baseline Set button.
A new dialog box will appear. You will use this dialog box to choose the baseline set. There are two main things to notice here. First, the tree views will begin at the root of the database. Second, if a folder or project has baseline sets, the number of them will appear in square brackets after the name of the container in the tree view.
Navigate to the project under the Tag List Editor Lessons folder. You will see there is one baseline set in this project. When the project is selected, the baseline sets will appear in the list to the right. Select the baseline set and press the OK button.
A new dialog box will appear. You will use this dialog box to choose the exact set within the chosen baseline set. When you select a set, you see its annotation and module baselines in the boxes below. After you have selected the set, press the OK button
Here you can see that the modules and baselines from the baseline set chosen appear in the module list of the Tag List Editor. When you are finished inspecting the results, press the Remove Selected button to clear the module list in preparation for the next step.
Sometimes you want to load all the most recent baselines of the modules in the list. To see this happen, first select all the modules in the "B Folder" (quickest way is to select the folder in the tree view and press the Insert all from Folder button), and also select Module D. Then press the Load Most Recent Baselines button.
You can see that the modules with baselines will have their most recent loaded, while those modules without baselines will still have their current state loaded in the module list.
