Blueprints assist users with creating FlexDeploy projects and the associated configuration, accelerating the journey to the ultimate goal - building and deploying software! A blueprint has the understanding of the end goal, and gathers the information necessary to auto-generate the underlying componentry.
...
You can utilize Blueprints by accessing the create new project screen in FlexDeploy. To create a project, complete the 5 simple steps in the wizard.
Step 1 - Select a Blueprint
...
Enter the Project Information and select the Build and Deploy options if applicable.
...
Step 2 - Where is your source code?
Below the Project Information section, select the Source Control Management System for the project.

Validate ConnectionWhen creating a new repository connection, click the TEST CONNECTION button to ensure FlexDeploy can connect to your repository using the supplied properties. |
Step 3 - Gather Build information
This step will collect any environment specific build properties , and identify which endpoint to execute on.

Development Environment OnlyKeep in mind that the focus of the Blueprint is to get something working quickly. With that in mind, the blueprint collects information for the Development environment only. You can map and configure as many environments as you wish later. |
...
Enter values for any workflow properties which are required for deployment into the Development environment. In the image above, several properties are required for this deployment.
Similar to build, specific endpoints may be required, showing the
icon next to it. Otherwise, select the desired endpoint that this deploy should execute on from the drop down, or create a new one within the dropdown.
Step 5 - Final Review
The final step is to review the information and generate the project and supporting components. Once ready, select the SAVE CONFIRM button at the bottom of the page to create the project. On creation, you will be redirected to the project's page.
