Specify the types of project data to update for the baseline. You do not have to select any of the available options.
Project details: Mark to include project data in the updated baseline.
Project UDFs: Mark to update and include project UDFs in the updated baseline.
Project risks, issues and thresholds: Mark to update and include, in the updated baseline, UDFs related to risks, issues, and thresholds. For example, selecting this option causes a UDF that describes an issue triggered by a deviation in a cost variance threshold to be updated and included in the baseline update.
Risk UDFs: Mark to update and include risk UDFs in the updated baseline. This option isolates and updates risk UDFs only.
Issue UDFs: Mark to update and include issue UDFs in the updated baseline. This option isolates and updates issue UDFs only.
Work products and documents: Mark to include, in the updated baseline, data related to products and documents developed as part of the project.
Work products and document UDFs: Mark to update and include UDFs of project-related products and documents in the updated baseline.

Advanced area
Ignore Last Update Date: Mark to ensure that all selected data types are updated without regard to the last baseline update date.
When this option is off, the baseline update process updates data items only with additions or modifications that have occurred since the last time the baseline was updated. When this option is on, the last baseline date is ignored and data items are updated to reflect all additions or modifications that have occurred, even if they preceded the date of the last baseline update. This option is useful when you want to update a data item that you did not include in your last baseline update.
Run Optimized: Mark to optimize the speed of the baseline update. If you select this option and errors occur during the update, errors are not logged.
Log to file: Enter or select a filename to store errors and warnings that occur when updating a baseline.
