Creating a selector snapshot from an existing selector or selector snapshot

Creating a selector snapshot creates a new instance of the selector. The snapshot is not a copy; it is a new selector.
Tip: To create snapshots and change the default snapshot, users must have the required permissions. See Verifying and editing access groups for snapshot permissions.
  1. Click the Edit icon beside the selector or selector snapshot that you want to snapshot:
    • To snapshot the default selector snapshot, in the selectors list (Servers > Selectors), click the Edit icon Edit icon beside the top-level snapshot.
    • To snapshot a nondefault selector snapshot, click the Snapshot icon Snapshot icon. The Snapshot view displays the selector snapshots in the set. Click the Edit icon Edit icon beside the nondefault selector snapshot.
  2. Click Create New Snapshot.
  3. At Name on the Snapshot tab, enter the snapshot name. The name is assigned to all the objects that you snapshot with the selector.

    The name must be unique within a selector snapshot set.

  4. Select the Build Forge objects to snapshot when you create the selector snapshot. The objects that you can select are described in the following table.
    Object Description
    Default In the UI, the default snapshot is displayed at the top-level of the selectors list.

    Select Servers > Selectors to display the selectors list.

    Follow Selector Includes If the selector uses the Include property type to include other selectors, a snapshot is created for those selectors.
    Note: The Include variable type replaces the .include functionality provided in prior releases.
  5. Click Save to save the selector snapshot.
