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.
