Creating an ETC as You Create the Baseline

The easiest way to create an Estimate to Complete (ETC) is to have MPM enter the ETC data at the same time you enter the baseline data.

Three Integrated Planning Storage Options

There are three Integrated Planning storage options available:

Option

Result

Save Baseline only

MPM saves the baseline data only.

Save Baseline and ETC

MPM saves the baseline data and saves the corresponding changes in the ETC data.

Prompt for ETC save

MPM saves the baseline data and displays the dialog box that follows asking if you want to save the corresponding changes in the ETC data.

 

To create the ETC data at the same time as the baseline data, you can select either the Save Baseline and ETC or the Prompt for ETC Save option.

To set the storage option, complete the following steps:

  1. From any MPM window, click Tools » Options. MPM displays the Options dialog box.

  2. Select the Integrated Planning Tab.

  3. Select the appropriate option.

Other Procedures Identical to Baseline

The procedures for adding, editing, and deleting information in the ETC window are identical to the procedures for the Baseline window. These include:
