Default Promotion Level for Recommending Baselines

Recommended baselines are the set of baselines that project team members use to rebase their development streams. In addition, when developers join the project, their development work areas are initialized with the recommended baselines. When you recommend baselines, the Recommend Baselines dialog box lists the latest baselines that have promotion levels equal to or higher than the promotion level that you specify as the default promotion level for recommending baselines.
