Managing Baseline Approvals

The approval list displays the baseline approvals and their state for an end item part when you open the part. If the part is not an end item, the Approvals tab is not shown. Although anyone in the organization can view the Baseline Approvals list, only the Quality Manager can see baselines that have not been approved.

After you create a baseline or change an attribute or structure, you may need to select the Refresh DMR Baseline command in the toolbar to update the list.

This task shows you how to:

Opening the Baseline Approval List

  1. Open an end item part.
  2. Select the Device Master Record category for the part.
  3. Select the Baselines tab.
    The Approvals tab displays the baseline Approvals list.

Revising Baselines
