Creating Project Versions and Baselines

Notes:

• The main procedure is for users of record pages supplied by Certinia from Fall 2020.
• From Fall 2020, if you are not using the pages supplied by Certinia, your administrator can add the PSA Actions: Project Versioning component to the project record page.
• Your administrator must have assigned the Project Version Create permission control to you.
• By default, you can create records in batches of 500 for each version. This is set in the custom setting field Create Version Batch Size and we do not recommend a higher value. Contact your administrator if you need to change the value.
