Add Baseline Start and Baseline Due Date to a Report

Hi Liz Morrison, thank you for creating this post! I've passed your feedback on to our relevant team 👍

@... Thank you for passing on my feedback, but it looks like this request has been made by many others and has been on the back burner for many years. Do you have a timeline for a change to be implemented? Having baseline start and end date as an option on a regular project report seems pretty obvious required data for a report.

Hey Liz Morrison, not at the moment, but we made sure our team considers it. Could you please point me to other threads that you found, so we can interlink them?

Hello, I'm wondering if this option could be added already? I need to have reports of delay (deviations from baseline end)

Hi! I have the same request - I would really need to be able to compare a planned due date to the completed date. And if the completed date changes, I would need to have all future dependencies change alike. Is that possible or planned?

Hey Ali and Janika, welcome to Wrike! 🎉

There aren't any updates right now, but I'll definitely keep you in the loop if anything changes. If you haven't already, please make sure to upvote the original post, as it helps our product team gauge the popularity of a suggestion. You can find more details here. Thanks! 😊

Hi! I can see the option to add baselines, but I cannot edit or enter the initial dates in my project, is this feature still unavailable?

Currently, Wrike does not natively support adding baseline dates directly to reports, a common workaround is to create custom fields. You can create custom fields for "Baseline Start" and "Baseline Due" dates. When you initially set up your project, manually enter these baseline dates into the custom fields. This allows you to include these fields in your reports for comparison with actual dates. I’m adding screenshots below for your reference, If there’s anything you need help with, don’t hesitate to reach out. Thanks!

is there any update on this request? looks like others are also wondering if this is something the product team can look into

Wrike people, it has been over 1 years since the original request was made. I'm using Wrike and it has around 3,400 tasks, therefore just adding the custom field(Base line start / Base line due) manually does not make any sense. I think this is an important function that the users are asking, then it needs be developed as soon as possible. Please update your thoughts. 

Hi Rochet Eng and Ryan Jang! 😊 Thank you for checking in but there's no update at the moment. We will make sure to let you know if there's any news regarding this. Thank you! 👍🏽

Hello, I also want the ability to save a Baseline for a project and its work items, which will automatically save the baseline #1 and allow me to see schedule variance against baseline as the work is executed. If there is a significant change and the team needs to re-baseline, we should be able to save baseline #2 based on the approved change request. This would allow me to see schedule variance from another important perspective (without losing the original baseline reference data). I agree with other users that managing this manually from custom fields isn't a scalable solution, risks data integrity, and doesn't seem appropriate for my work.

Hi Karen Wright, thanks for expressing your support for this suggestion and for detailing your use case. As Basudha mentioned above, we will keep you posted if there are any further developments 🙂
