Trace.Space uses the concept of baselines to help you capture and manage specific versions of your items at a given point in time. A baseline is essentially a snapshot of a set of items, such as requirements, that you want to freeze for reference, auditing, or review purposes. Once a baseline is created, the items within it are locked, meaning their content won’t change even if the live items are later edited.
You can use baselines to:
Mark a milestone in your development process
Compare different versions of a document or requirement set
Ensure traceability between versions over time
Creating a baseline
Baselines can include any set of items, and each item is baselined individually at the moment it's added—meaning items in the same baseline may reflect different points in time. Each baseline you create is versioned and timestamped, so you always know when it was created and which state each item was in at that moment.
There are multiple ways to create a new baseline:
From the tree view, by clicking the "..." button that appears while you hover over an item, and then select Baseline from the menu options.
Similarly, from items in Document view, by clicking the "..." button that appears while you hover over an item, and then selecting Baseline from the menu options
From bulk actions in the document or table view, when you select the items you want baselines
From the baselines tree view, by clicking on " + New baseline" and then selecting the items you want
Adding items to an existing baseline
As long as a baseline is still editable (not frozen) you can continue to add new items to it. You can do so following the methods described above, selecting the items you want and choosing to add them to an existing Baseline from the menu options.
Also, you can add new items from the baseline itself, by clicking on the + sign in the top-right corner.
