Summary

In Jama Connect®, baseline data cannot be displayed in the active project's Explorer Tree. Baselines are maintained separately from the current project structure and are accessed through the Baselines tab.

When a baseline is selected, Jama Connect opens a dedicated Baseline Tree that displays the project's historical hierarchy as it existed when the baseline was captured. This allows users to navigate historical content, view items and their associated baseline IDs, and review previous versions without modifying the active project structure.

Resolution

Although there is no native option to display the historical baseline hierarchy within the active Explorer Tree, Jama Connect provides several ways to access and review baseline information.

Baseline Tree

Navigate to the Baselines tab and select the baseline you want to review. This opens the Baseline Tree, where you can browse the historical project hierarchy and locate items included in that baseline.

Show IDs

Within the Baseline Tree, enable Show IDs to display the baseline IDs associated with items. This makes it easier to identify and search for specific items within the historical structure.

Single Item View

When viewing an item in the active project, use the Versions widget in Single Item View to identify which item versions are associated with specific baselines.

This allows users to review historical versions of items alongside the current item and compare changes without leaving the active project structure.
