The Project Events
tab displays milestone events and dates, including Baseline,
Target, and Completed,
for the current Project. This tab will be visible for users with Admin permission for the Project
Management feature. Users with this permission can add an event
by clicking the Add New button
or edit an event by clicking 
, which opens the Project Event
module. Administrators can add and edit project event groups and types
in the Administration tab, Project
Event Groups and Project
Event Types modules, where you can indicate if these events
should be added to the Country
and/or Site
Events pages. The date that populates events that stem from
Country or Site Events can be brought forward using the earliest
or latest date of those events
as indicated on the Project
Event Types module.
When the Reset Order button is clicked, the sort order of the Project Events will be reset to the order defined on the Project Event Type page. Custom Project Events will be displayed after the Project Events from the Project Event Type List until they are reordered.
Baseline
Users may also Set, Lock, and Unlock the Project Event Baseline by clicking either the Set Baseline, Lock Baseline, or Unlock Baseline buttons. These buttons will display when:

To set the Baseline, first enter the Target Dates and Comments, then click the Set Baseline button. You will be asked to confirm that the Target Date and Comment field values will overwrite any existing Baseline Date and Comment field values.
When clicking the Lock Baseline button, the user will be asked to confirm that the current Baseline will be locked. If the user confirms the action, the Project Baseline will be locked.
When clicking the Unlock Baseline button, the user will be asked to confirm that the current Baseline will be unlocked. If the user confirms the action, the Project Baseline will be unlocked.
