What is the intended function of the "Deploy Templates" button, when choosing process template for a new PA ?
For the umpteenth times creating new PAs, I had never paid attention to the "Deploy Templates" button, going straight to Finish.
This time though, I clicked Deploy Templates, then Finish, thinking that I deployed the chosen template first before finalizing.
However, the wrong template got into the project: after I was done with "Deploy Templales", the highlight was reset to the top of the list, hence Finish initialized the PA with the top template, instead of the chosen one, no longer highlighted at that point.
I wonder:
- What is the intended use for "Deploy Templates" ?
- Is it to deploy to the repository for manual initialization of the PA ?
- If so Finish will not initialize from the same repository with the chosen template already deployed ?
One answer
Deploy Templates is to create the OOTB templates that we ship with RTC: Scrum, Formal Process, Unconfigured Process.
You should do it only once when first creating a project. You can also do it later if you made changes to the OOTB templates and want to reset them. If you do not wish to use the OOTB templates, but only your own custom templates, you don't need to Deploy Templates at all.
