Setting a baseline for comparison

To compare your current design with a new concept using either a dashboard or a report, you first need to set the current state of your BoM and its assignments as a baseline for the comparison. When the baseline has been set, it applies to all dashboards and comparison reports.

You can clear the baseline, or update it to set a new baseline, at any time. The baseline is automatically cleared if you select a different assembly or component, or when you close MI Materials Gateway.

To set or clear a baseline
  1. Click in the top right corner of the Assignments panel to view a dashboard. (If you have more than one dashboard available, it does not matter which one is selected.)
  2. In the lower left corner of the dashboard, click Set baseline, Update baseline, or Clear baseline, as required.
