Overview
Use this page to specify default settings for calculating earned value. You can change the settings for specific WBS elements in the Earned Value detail window in Activities page.
Note: The publisher and summarizer services always use the project baseline for earned value calculations, regardless of the Baseline to be used for earned value calculations setting in each project's preferences. Therefore earned value data viewed in areas of the software using published or summarize data might differ from the same data viewed in areas of the software using live data.
