# Action baseline items

When you action baseline items, you move items in a baseline to a new lifecycle state.

PRIVILEGES: Action Item to Next State to action the items to a valid next state. Action Items to Any State to action the items to a lifecycle state without a valid transition.

To action baseline items:

1. Select a baseline.

2. Select Baseline > Action > Baseline Items.

3. In the Action Baseline Items dialog box, change the Item Specification Filter if needed. You can use the following wildcards:

   Underscore (_) | Matches exactly one character. For example, d_g matches dog or dig.
   Asterisk (*) or percent sign (%) | Matches any number of characters. For example, d%g matches dog, drag, or dreaming.

   Item specifications have the following format:

   productID:itemID.partVariant–itemType;revision

4. From the New Status list, select the next status for the items.

   If you leave this field empty, Dimensions CM automatically selects the next normal lifecycle status.

   Note: If you do not have the Action baselines to any state privilege, the new status must be reached from the current status by a single normal lifecycle transition.

5. (Optional) For Action description, enter a comment. The default comment is:

   Item actioned from <previous status> to <new status>

6. Click OK.
