Creating branches in the team application

After you provide team members with access to the team application, create the branches in the team application by doing the following.

  1. On the Definition tab of the application rule, click Add Branch.
  2. In the Add a Branch ID dialog box, enter a name for the new branch and click Submit. Your cannot use a branch that contains branched versions of a ruleset that is not in your application stack.
  3. Save the application ruleform.
  4. Develop rules in the team application. When you create or copy rules and save them to the branch, the branch ruleset is created automatically. See Developing rules in the branch ruleset.
  5. If you are using multiple branches in the application rule, ensure that the order of the branches as listed in the Current development branches list matches the order in which the rules should be resolved for this development application's users (the developers on the team).
  6. When a developer logs into this development application, the system assembles the developer's ruleset list, and the branch rulesets according to the sequence in which the branches are listed in the Current development branches list.

  7. In the Current development branches list, drag and drop the branches to set the desired order.
  8. Save the application rule. (If the system has re-displayed an initial row in the Application RuleSets list, remove it by clicking and then save the rule.) The system adds the branch to the Current development branches list.
  9. Create the branch rulesets.
