Release Intake Status Customization

Release Intake Statuses are part of the Release Intake workflow, where Child Releases added to Enterprise Releases go through an approval process.

Location of Intake Approval Workflow

To locate the Intake Approval Workflow:

    Only Enterprise Releases have Intake Approval. Project and Independent Releases do not.
  4. Click the Release Manifest tab.
  5. If there are no child Releases under the Enterprise Release Scope Manifest panel on the right, drag and drop Releases from the Available Items panel on the left into the Enterprise Release Scope Manifest panel:
    • Child Releases start out with the default Intake Approval Status.
  6. Users with Update Release Intake Status user permission can click the Intake Approval, update the status, and click Save or Save & Close.
  7. The Intake Approval status then appears on the child Release beside the Release Dependency field.
