If you make large use of inputs/flexfields for your projects, you may upload a CSV file containing the values.  You can also download a sample CVS file which may be used as a template to create the file. 

Tip

The related ticket can be set at the stage level or for individual projects/packages in the snapshot.  If the ticket is set at the stage level all workflow requests in the stage will be associated with the same ticket. All related tickets must be approved prior to passing through an external approval gate.

The related ticket fields become read-only after an external approval gate is cleared.

While FlexFields and workflow inputs provide a mechanism to make late binding decisions at runtime, they can also be an inhibitor to fast and iterative software delivery since there is a dependency on manual data entry with each and every execution.  You will want to take that into consideration during your process design.  When possible you should consider deriving these values based on static configuration or conventions (e.g. naming conventions, etc).

Snapshot Variables

The snapshot variables tab lists the current value of any snapshot variables used within the pipeline.  If the snapshot variable has not been set by a custom gate or step the variable will be listed but the value will be empty.

  

Tip

Note that the values displayed are always the value at the current time and do not represent the value during execution of the particular stage.  The values will match across all stages at any given time, and viewing it within a specific stage is for convenience only.
