I see Christophe responded to you in similar fashion to what I wrote in another thread. If you intend to use variance indicators, as you expressed the desire for in another thread, then you most definitely will want to start saving baselines, as these are
your basis for detecting variance in your schedules. What you should do to launch this tools to a group of newbies, is to keep your schedules very simple to start, and add levels of detail to them as you learn how to use the toolset. Training is important.
