Blueprints

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.  

Whether you use a blueprint or create objects by hand the componentry is the same.  The underlying components consist of a Topology definition, build and deploy workflows, a source code repository connection, and a project definition.  Blueprints provide a jump start to get something working quickly, and letting you come back later to enrich and extend.  In that spirit, blueprints default many properties and configure a single deployment target - Development.

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.
