Field | Description |
|---|
Name | The name of the release. |
Status | The current status of the release (read-only). Not Started - the release is not yet started, and is not eligible to process snapshot Started - the release is eligible to process snapshots Suspended - the release has been paused, and is not currently eligible to process snapshots Completed - the release has ended, and will never process snapshots again (cannot be resumed).

Description | An optional description for the release. |
Start Date | The date and time in which the release was started (read-only). |
End Date | The date and time in which the release was ended/completed (read-only). |
Pipeline | The pipeline which is used to process snapshots for the release. |
Snapshot Schedule | Cron expression to initiate the creation of a snapshot using new project versions for all release projects. Project-level Scheduled Build triggers are created, which can be viewed from project screen as well. More than one cron expression can be provided using ; separator. This would allow for more complex schedules. But all projects in the release will use the same schedule. For example, If a project added to the release does not have Build Environment selected, then it will not be part of snapshot creation. The latest project version will be used for the project. When Release is Ended, all Scheduled Build triggers for each project which are associated with the release will be deleted. | Info |

Release scheduled build processingAll projects in release with Build Environment set will be setup for snapshot schedule. This will initiate a build for each release project by creating a snapshot for the release containing all new project versions. You can view (but not edit) associated Scheduled Build triggers on project screen (CI tab) as well. They are automatically managed when the Snapshot Schedule is configured for a Release. A single release snapshot is created even when more than one project is found to have changed in SCM. Projects with SCM set to None Change detection is not possible If there is a newer version for the project than what is in latest snapshot, new snapshot will contain newer version. Build is never invoked automatically in this case as SCM is None.
Projects with SCM other than None Change detection will be performed. If changes are detected in SCM, new build will be initiated for those projects. If no changes are found in SCM, then latest version for project/stream/package will be used.
If there are no changes found in any projects or no newer project versions, then snapshot is not created. Project can be defined to be part of multiple releases with same stream. In such situations, if projects is built once, even without release selection, that latest project version will be included in all releases that contain that project with specific stream, when individual snapshot schedule trigger fires for those releases.
