Project Baseline is only used for summarizing the Project. User’s baselines are used for comparing the project Actual Schedule vs. baseline, baseline 2, baseline 3. You can set users baseline as what if, initial plan, client sign-off, etc…
The project baseline or primary baseline can be designated as the project to use when calculating earned value (based on a setting in the Settings tab of Project Details).
Could you tell me what is different between Project baseline and user baseline under menu "assign baselines".
The thing confusing me is that when i assigned user primary baseline but keep project baseline unassigned which, in this case will keep current project as project baseline. Then I made some change, but in bar field, I saw both baseline and current bar moving at same time.
Could you explain the reason?
Thank you in advance.

If you follow my previous post that should gave you step by step of how to create baseline. If you select a copy of current project as baseline as default it should name as your current project with “- B1” added to it. Once created, you can assign it to Project Baseline, Primary Baseline… etc… and you should be able to select it from drop down box.
Vs. is a short cut or abbreviation for versus or compare to/ against.
Duration % original is threshold value in percentage. (Duration % Original = Actual Duration / Original Duration * 100) some result are greater than 100. Ex: 10 (AD) / 5 (OD) *100 = 200%
Duration % Complete is the actual duration complete per each activity. If your % type is set to duration, this is the % complete that manually update in status tab otherwise it is the result of “100 less (Remaining Duration/Original Duration * 100)”
If baseline is created and assigned, you can also display the Project Duration % complete or BL1 Duration % complete.
Andrew is correct. You can create multiple Baselines (Target) and attached to your actual (live) project.
Select Project-> Maintain Baseline on your Project Menu
Click Add and you can select from :
Save a copy of the current project as a new baseline or
Convert another project to a new baseline of the current project.
After creating a baseline then select Project-> Assign Baseline on your Project Menu and assign the new created baseline to Project Baseline and Primary Baseline or just the Primary Baseline so you will have a comparison between current projects vs. primary baseline.

Dear Mr / Andrew , Rodel
Thank you for your sooner replay
Could you tell me step by step how can I create baseline or baselines to project
From project and baseline and add it already created and in front of it
primary baseline , second baseline , third baseline
and there are in top ( use current project as primary baseline ) when I press on this option it delete from primary baseline
anywas suppose I create base line how can I show percentage on primary baseline bar and what the different between
duration % original

In P3E the old "target" is replaced by baseline.
Use the baseline manager located under the Project Tab.
