To create a template:
-
Display the Create New Component Template dialog (
Components > Templates > Create New Template [button]). -
Enter the template's name in the Name field.
-
Enter a description in the Description field.
The optional description can be used to convey additional information about the template.
-
Select a plug-in from the Status Plug-in field.
If you previously created any status-related plug-ins, they will be listed here. The default value is
Default, meaning that the template will have Serena Release Automation-supplied steps available for use. -
Select the source for the artifacts from the Source Config Type drop-down list.
Selecting a value other than the default
None, displays additional fields associated with your selection. Source-dependent fields are used to identify and configure the artifacts. If you select a source, components based on the template will use the same source. See Component Source ConfigurationNote
If you select a source, any properties you configure will be set for any components created with the template.
-
Click the Save button to save the template.
Saved templates are listed in the Component Templates pane.
You create a process for the template in the same way processes are created for components. For information about creating component processes, see the section called “Process Editor”.
