Many of the default settings for projects, workflows, jobs, and other AnthillPro resources can be customized and extended to meet your specific needs. A majority of the advanced authoring features are designed for users responsible for configuring AnthillPro for build and deployments. The tools allow these advanced users the ability to create reusable resources; copy configurations; use properties throughout the application; and control what information AnthillPro provides:
Projects. Create, edit, copy, move, deactivate, activate, delete, import, and export projects on the Main Administration page.
Workflows. Create, edit, copy, deactivate, activate, delete, any workflow on the Main Administration page.
Jobs. Create, edit, copy, and delete jobs on the Main Administration page. In addition, you any job can be iterated.
Reusing Workflow Definitions and Jobs. Use library workflow definitions and library jobs are typically used to set up standardized processes across multiple projects.
Using Life-Cycle Models. Determine how a build is identified, the different stages a build must go through on its way to the end user, how artifacts are handled, and which clean-up policies are enforced.
Notifications. Have AnthillPro send e-mails, instant messages, and other notifications to select team members, or anyone who is interested in information the server generates.
Properties. Use properties to manage variables passed into commands, agent filters, and custom stamping algorithm templates. Properties can also be used to set up manual gates in your automated processes.
Build Life Links. Pass the URL of resources outside of AnthillPro to the Build-Life Reports tab.
