About the Task Templates Process App

Task templates are templates for a collection of ordered deployment tasks. Task templates can be created from release packages and deployment tasks. Deployment tasks from approved task templates can be copied to release packages.

Note: Deployment units cannot be associated with task templates. These are associated only with release packages, which are for specific deployments.

Participants:

Release engineer
Release manager

Task templates follow a process organized into these stages:

Create
Release engineers typically create a task template and add deployment tasks. Tasks can be also copied from other task templates or release packages.

Once tasks are added, the task template is sent to a release manager for review.
Active
Once a task template is accepted, tasks can no longer be added or modified.

The task template's tasks can be copied to release packages, however, and reordered and modified as needed. New deployment tasks can also be added to release packages.

Note: To modify an accepted task template, return it to the construction state.
Inactive
Inactive task templates are no longer available to release packages.
