To create a component template, specify information about
the template, such as which plug-in it is related to.
Procedure
To create a template:
- Display the Create New Component Template dialog
().
- Enter the template's name in the Name field.
- Enter a description in the Description field. The optional description can be used to convey more information
about the template.
- Select a plug-in from the Status Plug-in field. If you previously created any status-related plug-ins, they
are listed here. The default value is Default, meaning
that the template has the default steps available for use.
- Select the source for the artifacts from the Source
Config Type list. Selecting a value other
than the default None, displays more fields that
are associated with your selection. Source-dependent fields are used
to identify and configure the artifacts. If you select a source, components
that are based on the template use the same source.
For information about creating components of
specific types, see Creating components from the file system, Creating components from build integration tools,or Creating components from source-code management systems.
Note: If
you select a source, any properties you configure are set for any
components created with the template.
- Click Save to save the template. Saved templates are listed in the Component
Templates pane.
What to do next
You create a process for the template in the same way processes
are created for components. For information about creating component
processes, see
Processes.
