Field

Description

Name

The name of the gate.

Description

An optional description for the gate.

All Tasks Required

When checked, all groups across from the Approval Role field will be required to approve their tasks. If unchecked, only a single group must approve their task.

Note

Individual User Approvals

When the All Tasks Required field is checked, individual users defined on the role will be ignored. If you would like the approval of multiple individuals you will need to use multiple Approval Gates in succession with All Tasks Required unchecked.

Approval Role

The pipeline role which is responsible for approving or rejecting the task associated with this gate. 

Optionally, use a Groovy expression to make this field dynamic based on some contextual value (e.g. a property defined on the pipeline, and specified on the release).

When using a role script you can dynamically return a key/value pair. For example return [type: 'groupName', value: 'FD Administrators']. Supported types are roleId, roleName, groupId, and groupName. You can return Map with single key/value pair or list of such single key/value maps.

If not specified, only a FlexDeploy Administrator can approve or reject the gate.

Precondition

An optional Groovy script which determines whether the gate or step is applicable during execution. The script has access to variables and methods listed in Pipeline Groovy Variables and Methods. You can find these variables and methods while using the Groovy Editor.

The script must return true if the gate is applicable, or false otherwise.  If no script is provided, the default is to return true (applicable).
