A baseline is a set of CIs and their associated attributes, having a known state, used as the basis for comparison. You can view a baseline within drift management as a saved CMDB query that identifies the CIs that you want to use as your baseline CIs

A baseline is created using the Drift Management Baseline Wizard and contains the following components:

• A source dataset of CIs such as BMC Asset dataset.
• A qualification set to narrow the number of CIs in the baseline.
• (Optional) An include set of attributes to use in the comparison.
• (Optional) An exclude set of attributes to exclude from the comparison
