Properties are an integral component to FlexDeploy, which allow plugins and workflows to be customized and parameterized to support very flexible build and deployment needs. Property definitions are provided by plugins or workflows, and their values are specified on associated environment instances or projects depending on the defined scope.

Properties Scope

All properties are defined with either an environment instance, instance or project scope.

The environment instance scope is appropriate for those properties which will vary by environment for each instance, but will be shared across all projects using a particular plugin or workflow. The instance scope is appropriate for those properties which are specific for an instance, but will be shared across all projects using that instance. The project scope is appropriate when properties values will vary by project. The owning plugin or workflow will determine the default scope for each property it defines. However, any environment instance scoped property can be overridden at the project level if necessary.
