Create Project
There are multiple methods to create Projects in Decisions. One method is through using the Create Project action, which is available on the Designer Repository Folder. When the action is ran:
- Provide a Project Name, Description URL, and Description, then click CREATE. Note that the Description URL needs to be in a typical web address format.
- The Project will appear in the Folder Tree. Selecting the Project will open the dashboard.
Delete Project
Projects can be deleted and removed from the Repository.
- Right-click the Project and select Delete Project.
- Click YES to Delete the Project.
Download Project
Users can Download a Project to store it for later use or as a backup copy to restore back to.
- Navigate to the Project Folder.
- Select Download > Download Project from the top Action Bar.
- From the Download Resources dialog, select the desired Branch then click OK.
- Click the Download link. The Download Resources box then displays the file path and name for the configured download. (for example: C:\Program Files\Decisions\Decisions Services Manager\Instances\Control\Repository\Downloads\MyFirstProject-MyFirstProjectDevelopment-12102018-050634.zip)
Selecting the Download link proceeds with the download process by downloading the Project in .zip file to the displayed file path. From here the .zip file is saved and acts as a version of the Project that can be referenced/rolled back to at any point.
Rollback Actions
The Rollback menu provides users with two options; Rollback to Revision (version) of the Project or Rollback to Date, which Rollback to whatever state the Project was at based on a specified moment in time.
Every time there is a change to the Project a new Revision (state of the Project) is created, meaning the user can Rollback at any time to the desirable past state.
