Set default lifecycle stages for pipeline management

You can select lifecycle stages (both out-of-the-box and custom) and group these stages together to create a default or defined lifecycle stage. You can then apply the default lifecycle stage to a version of an application design.

Advantages of setting a default lifecycle stage

The main advantage of setting a default set of lifecycle stages to a new design version is that you do not need to manually define a lifecycle flow each time a new version of an application design is created.

To set default lifecycle stages

Use the Pipeline Configurations sidebar menu item to set the default lifecycle stage.

1. Navigate to Release Automation > Pipeline Configurations > Lifecycle Stages.
2. Select the gear icon next to Lifecycle Stages and click Set Default Lifecycle Stage.
3. When you log on to Codar for the first time, all out-of-the-box lifecycle stages are displayed. As and when custom lifecycle stages are created, those stages are also displayed. You can remove any lifecycle stage that you do not want to include as part of the default by clicking the bin icon at the right of the each lifecycle stage.

4. Click Add Lifecycle Stage and select the lifecycle stages that you want to be a part of the default set.

5. Click Save.
