Stage Actions

Action	Description	Notes
Abort Stage	Aborts the Stage and any currently running Gates or Steps in the Stage	Requires Manage Stage Execution permission. The Stage can only be aborted while in a running state (Gates Running, Gates Completed, Steps Running).
Replay Stage	Replay the Stage. Any previously executed Gates or Steps, successful or otherwise, will be replayed as well.	Requires Manage Stage Execution permission. The Stage can only be replayed while in a halted state (Aborted, Failed, Gates Failed, Rejected).
View Execution Variables	The Pipeline used by the Release is able to define runtime Variables to customize execution logic in real time. This button will open a view to visualize the current values of any such Pipeline Variables.	Any user with Read permission on the Release can view this information.
Upload Execution Info	Allows the viewing or modification of the Stage Execution Info.	Any user with Read permission on the Release can view the Stage Execution Info but modifying requires the Upload Execution Info permission.

Action	Description	Notes
Approve Step/Gate	Approve the focused Step or Gate.	A Step or Gate that requires approval will generate a task in FlexDeploy which can be approved or rejected from the Tasks screen. This is simply a shortcut to approve the task directly from the dashboard. Optional notes can be provided during approval to provide more context for audit purposes. Approval Role - Only users in the FD Administrators group or the specified Role on the step can approve. The Manage Step Execution and Manage Gate Execution permissions are not involved here.
Fullscreen	Open the Step or Gate details in a full-screen viewer.	Default keyboard shortcut ⌨️ is `shift+f`
Override Step/Gate	Override (i.e Skip) the current Gate or Step.	Similar to Approve/Reject, Override can only be used by FD Administrators and those configured on the Override Role in the Gate or Step.
Reject Step/Gate	Reject the Step or Gate.	See notes on Approve Step/Gate above
Replay Step/Gate	Replays the Step or Gate. The Step or Gate must be in a failed state (Aborted, Failed, Rejected).	Requires the Manage Step Execution or Manage Gate Execution permission.
Skip Step/Gate	Skips the Step or Gate. Similar to replay the Step or Gate must be in a failed state.	Unlike Override, Skip simply requires the Manage Step/Gate Execution permissions to be used.
View Pipeline Step/Gate Definition	View the configuration for the Step/Gate defined on the Pipeline.

Status	Description	Notes
Aborted	The Stage was aborted.	In most cases this is due to a user manually aborting the Stage. There are a select few background processes that may abort a Stage. For example when Force Completing a Release any running stages will be aborted.
Failed	The Stage has failed.	This is typically the result of a Step within the Stage failing.
Gates Completed	Gates have completed and Steps are waiting to process.	When a Stage is in this status it typically means there is another Pipeline Execution running Steps in the same Stage. Once the latter execution completes this Stage will move on to Running Steps.
Gates Failed	One or more Gates within the Stage have failed.
Gates Running	The Stage is currently running Gates.
Not Started	The Stage has not begun to execute. This will only occur if a Stage prior to this one is still executing.
Out of Date	The Stage has been superseded and is now Out of Date.	At any given time there may multiple Pipeline Executions running for a Release. If at any point the latest Pipeline Execution proceeds to a later Stage than previous Pipeline Executions, they will be marked as Out of Date.
