Adding Plugin Configuration Tags

Tags are unique names you can assign to plugin configurations in addition to the system-assigned Type Name. These tags are used in collection widgets to show or hide the objects, such as requests and deployment units.

Tags are provided for the default plugin configurations and are pre-selected in the example settings. However, you may add any type of object needed for your custom implementations of Release Control and the plugins.

Tags added at any level are added at the global level as well. All global tags are available for selection at other levels.
Tags added in the Default Tags tab are the tags that are assigned when a new item or action configuration is added. Changing these does not impact existing configurations, it only impacts future ones.
Tags defined for a item or action configuration are the current tags available, and can be edited at any time. At least one tag must be assigned to a configuration.

CAUTION:

Do not remove all of the default tags or configuration tags unless you are customizing the system. Object configurations must have tags assigned to them; otherwise, items cannot be linked to deployment tasks. If tags are missing, the item selection says "No configurations available".

Note: When you create tags or assign tags to a configuration, those tags are not used by existing items such as requests, deployment units, or deployment tasks. The tags will be used only for items added after the tags are created or assigned.

Important: The Release Control Administration options can be performed only by users with Managed Administrator privileges.

To add tags to a specific configuration:

In your Web browser, enter the URL for the Release Control Administration. For example:
http://serverName/workcenter/tmtrack.dll?StdPage&Template=rlc/admin

Tip: The link for your installation is in SBM Configurator on the Release Control page.
In Administration > Configurations, select a plugin configuration.
Note: If you add a tag at the configuration level, that tag is available to be selected by other configurations and is also added to the global Tags list.
Click the Tags tab.
Click Edit.
To use existing tags, select one or more tags, use the arrows to move them to the Selected Tags box.
To create a new tag, click Create New below the selection box and give the tag a name and description. This creates the tag and automatically adds it to the Selected Tags box.

Tip: You can view tags for all configurations in the global Tags tab. From there you can create tags, edit existing tag names and descriptions, and copy tags.
