# Introduction

Release management app has embedded functionality for environment management and mapping versions to environments.

Also, an Environments gadget is available to visualize all environments for a version and all versions for a particular environment.

# Environments management

User can manage environments on "Environments" tab in the main application menu.

<u>Name</u> and <u>Environment type</u> are mandatory fields. <u>Description</u> and <u>Versions</u> list are optional.

In the current version of the Release management app, <u>Environment type</u> is predefined and has the following options:

- Development
- Staging
- Integration
- Production

| Please contact us via support channel to speed up the development of configurable <u>Environment type</u> list. |

By default, the <u>Description</u> field is initialized with a predefined template which is not configurable in the current version.

On the **Versions** tab, a user can specify what versions to be deployed to the environment and see already deployed versions. User can also specify **Build Number **of the version deployed to specific environment for better tracking.

Search functionality by version name, version project, version column is available.

# Assign version to environment

User can assign a version to the environment from Edit environment dialog, Version tab. See chapter above.

On the tab a user can see all already deployed versions, add new versions from all versions in the board or remove already added versions from the environment.

An alternative option is to assign a version to the environment from versions details dialog, <u>Environment</u> tab:

The user can see all environments where the version is deployed, remove the version from the environment or add the version to any available environment in the board.

# Environments Gadget

In order to embed information about environments and versions deployed to them to Jira dashboards or to Confluence an Environments gadget has been created.
