Create a release

A release is a group of one or more files that are published as a unit.

Before creating a release, you must have a package into which your release will go.
  1. In the CollabNet Sites view, go to the package where you want to add a new release.
  2. Right-click, and select New > Release .
  3. On the Create Release page, write a name and description for the release.
  4. Set the status value for the release.
    • Pending — Releases with pending status are not visible in the drop-down lists displayed when you set Reported In Release and Fixed In Release fields in an artifact. Use Pending status when you have created a release but have not yet finished adding files.
    • Active — Releases with active status are visible in the drop-down lists displayed when you set Reported In Release and Fixed In Release fields in an artifact.
  5. Identify the maturity level of this release. Use one of these predefined values:
    • Development build
    • Alpha
    • Beta
    • General availability
  6. Click OK.
The release is created.
After you have created the release, you can begin adding files.
