Configuring phase and exit criteria milestones

You can enforce milestones that require all change requests and activities to be completed before the release can move to the next milestone. For example, you can configure Release Management so that all the Planning activities must be completed before the release can move to the Build stage.

Release Milestone Configuration form

The Release Milestone Configuration form allows you to define phases, as well as the exit criteria, for each milestone.

Finally, you can use this form to localize release milestones.

To configure phase milestones

1. In the Application Administration Console, click the Custom Configuration tab.
2. From the Application Settings list, choose Release Management > Advanced Options > Milestone Configuration, and then click Open.
   You can filter table results by using the Show Locale and Show Phase menus. The Show Phase menu only shows phases defined for the locale you are in.
3. In the Phase Name field, define the Deployment phase that requires a milestone (for example, Phase 1, Phase 2, and so on).
4. Select a locale from the menu, and then click Add to create a new locale for the Deployment milestone (for example, en_AU for Australian English).
5. Define the localized text for each phase by performing the following actions.
   1. After adding a phase, select the phase from the table, and then click Manage Locales.
      The Defined Locales dialog box appears, where you can add localized text for the selected phase.
      
      
      
   2. Enter localized text into the Phase field.
   3. Select the locale.
   4. Click Add.
      You can modify or delete localized text as needed.
   5. Close the Manage Locales dialog box when you are finished.
      The localized text appears in the Release Milestone Configuration form.
   6. Close the Release Milestone Configuration form when you are finished.
