EntityType: ProjectBaseline (ProjectData service)

In this article
Definition
Parent element
Child elements

Contains the properties that define the reporting data for a project baseline in the ProjectData service.

Example

The following REST query uses the ProjectBaselines entity set to get the specified project baseline properties. The query is all on one line.

http://<pwa_url>/_api/ProjectData/ProjectBaselines
    ?$select=ProjectName,ProjectBaselineStartDate,ProjectBaselineFinishDate,ProjectBaselineWork,ProjectBaselineCost

The next two examples also get the following data results.

Sample data results of the ProjectBaseline query

ProjectName	StartDate	EndDate	ProjectBaselineWork	ProjectBaselineCost
ProjectA	3/26/2012 8:00:00 AM	3/30/2012 5:00:00 PM	144.0 hrs	$2380.00
ProjectB	3/12/2012 8:00:00 AM	3/16/2012 5:00:00 PM	87.5 hrs	$1835.90
ProjectC	3/12/2012 8:00:00 AM	3/17/2012 5:00:00 PM	112.0 hrs	$1872.00

The following statement uses LINQ query syntax to retrieve ProjectBaseline entity data from the OData interface of the Project Server reporting tables. To use the statement in an application, set a service reference to the ProjectDataService, and initialize the ReportingData context. The ProjectBaselines entity set can then be accessed as context.ProjectBaselines. For more information, see Querying OData feeds for Project 2013 reporting data.

    var query =
    from p in ProjectBaselines
    select new
    {
        ProjectName = p.ProjectName,
        StartDate = p.ProjectBaselineStartDate,
        EndDate = p.ProjectBaselineFinishDate,
        ProjectBaselineWork = p.ProjectBaselineWork,
        ProjectBaselineCost = p.ProjectBaselineCost
    };

The preceding statement can be written by using Lambda expression syntax, as follows:

    var query = ProjectBaselines
    .Select( p => new
    {
        ProjectName = p.ProjectName,
        StartDate = p.ProjectBaselineStartDate,
        EndDate = p.ProjectBaselineFinishDate,
        ProjectBaselineWork = p.ProjectBaselineWork,
        ProjectBaselineCost = p.ProjectBaselineCost
    });

Parent element

Element	Description
ReportingData	The schema for the reporting data in the ProjectData service.

Child elements

Child elements are properties of a project baseline and navigation properties of that project baseline. Attributes of the Property elements specify the property name and type, and whether the property can be a null value. The NavigationProperty element specifies a project entity that is associated with a project baseline. A navigation property uses an Association element in a query for a related entity collection

The Key elements specify the properties that are the primary keys for a project baseline query. ProjectId is the project GUID. BaselineNumber is the number of the baseline.

Property elements

The following table lists the Property elements for the ProjectBaseline entity. The Name, Type, and Nullable columns contain attribute values for each property.

Attribute values for the Property elements of ProjectBaseline

Name	Type	Nullable	Description
BaselineNumber	Edm.Int32	false	Key The number that identifies a baseline.
ProjectId	Edm.Guid	false	Key The GUID that identifies a project.
ProjectName	Edm.String	true	The name of a project.
ProjectBaselineBudgetCost	Edm.Decimal	false	The planned budgeted cost of a project.
ProjectBaselineBudgetWork	Edm.Decimal	false	The planned budgeted amount of work for a project.
ProjectBaselineCost	Edm.Decimal	false	The planned cost of a project.
ProjectBaselineDeliverableFinishDate	Edm.DateTime	true	The planned finish date for a project deliverable.
ProjectBaselineDeliverableStartDate	Edm.DateTime	true	The planned start date for a project deliverable.
ProjectBaselineDuration	Edm.Decimal	false	The planned duration of a project.
ProjectBaselineDurationString	Edm.String	true	A string that contains a planned project duration.
ProjectBaselineFinishDate	Edm.DateTime	true	The finish date and time for a planned project.
ProjectBaselineFinishDateString	Edm.String	true	A string that contains a planned project finish date and time.
ProjectBaselineFixedCost	Edm.Decimal	false	The planned cost for a task that remains constant regardless of its duration or the work performed by a resource.
ProjectBaselineStartDate	Edm.DateTime	true	The start date and time for a planned project.
ProjectBaselineStartDateString	Edm.String	true	A string that contains a planned project start date and time.
ProjectBaselineWork	Edm.Decimal	false	The planned total amount of work for a project.
TaskId	Edm.Guid	false	The GUID that identifies a task.

NavigationProperty elements

The following table lists attribute values for the NavigationProperty element of the ProjectBaseline entity. The Name and Relationship columns contain attribute values for the navigation property.

The Relationship attribute contains a pair of names. The first name in the pair is the primary entity type in the navigation. The second name in the pair is the secondary entity type in the navigation. In the Project navigation property relationship, ProjectBaseline is the primary entity type and Project is the secondary entity type.

Attribute values for the NavigationProperty elements

Name	Relationship	Description
Project	ProjectBaseline_Project	Establishes navigation from a collection of project baselines to a project.
