Project Planning and Control Using Primavera Contractor Version 6: Including Versions 4.1, 5.0 and 6.1

There will normally be changes to the schedule dates and more often than not there are delays. The full extent of the change is not apparent without having a Baseline bar to compare with the statused schedule.
To display one or more of the Baseline Bars in the Bar Chart you must open the Bars form and check the Display box of one or more baseline bar.

If you want to see the Start and Finish Date variances, they are available by displaying the Variance - Start Date and Variance - Finish Date columns. These variance columns use the Primary Baseline data.
| Information | When a Project Baseline or a Primary User Baseline bar is displayed without a baseline being set the Current Schedule which is based on the Planned Dates will be displayed and the Current Schedule is not a true Baseline. |
