Adding new activities to an exisitng P6 Baseline - without changing existing activity baseline

Hi I hope someone can advise,

I am creating a schedule which has 5 workstream leads doing different things, I would like to create a schedule that includes all their activities but they will not be available at the onset.

I would like to add say workstream 1 then add a baseline for that , then say next week add work stream 2 activities  and add to the first baseline but not re set the workstream 1 baseline - is this possible?

Andrew,

This is very easy, as long as your P6 version is 16 or more.

You need a code, probably but not necessarily WBS, that you can use to distinguish the activities that should be added to the existing baseline. Then the 'Update' button in the maintain baselines option will allow you to use that as a filter.

This was a horrible mess until version 16, I have a user guide that I can send you if necessary for this.
