Any user can change the information about a project grouping. Build managers can remove a task from a project grouping to build successfully.
Build managers typically use this feature to ascertain why a build failed. A build manager looks at one or more tasks recently added to the project grouping to find where the error occurred. After finding the bug, the build manager informs the responsible developer or team lead so that the bug can be fixed. While the bug is being fixed, the build manager might remove the task from the project grouping to perform a successful build.
Procedure
- Right-click over the project grouping whose properties you want to modify, and select Properties.
To find a project grouping, see Finding an object.
- In the Properties dialog box, modify the fields in the Properties tab, as required:
- The Process Rule field is not modifiable. Build managers can act on it by right-clicking over the process rule name and making a selection.
- The Auto Update check box is selected by default. When selected, it updates the baseline and tasks during a project update. When cleared, it keeps the baseline and tasks from changing during an update operation.
- In the Projects tab, you can add projects to the project grouping by clicking the plus sign.
The Select Project dialog box appears. Use it to add a project to the project grouping.
- Modify the fields in the Baseline Projects tab, as needed.
The following describes the modifiable fields.
- The Select Baseline button is active when the process rule used by the project grouping is set to allow you to select the baseline. To select a baseline, click Select Baseline.
The Select Baseline dialog box appears. By default, baselines display in the results field based on the release for the project grouping, for example, toolkit/2.0.
- The Baseline table shows the baseline for this project grouping, if one exists. If the process rule used by the project grouping is set to Latest static or build management projects, then this table is empty.
- The Baseline projects you have a copy of table contains the projects found by the process rule as baseline projects that you have a copy of in this project grouping. If the process rule uses baselines, then these projects are from the baseline. If the process rule uses Latest static or build management projects, then these projects are found by the latest projects rule.
- The Baseline projects you don't have a copy of table contains projects found by the process rule that you do not have a copy of in this project grouping.
- Modify the fields in the Tasks tab, as needed. The following fields are modifiable:
