Releases, Subscriber management and votes
Release feature is available for Release pages and Widgets; thus, this documentation isslustrates the images for both features randomly. Releases feature works in same manner for both Release pages & Widgets.
Create Releases
Once the release page or widget is configured, you are all set to publish your releases using manual or automated triggers. Executing the ‘Widget action’ or ‘Release page action’ within rules means creating releases. So, upon every execution of an action, it adds a new release. This is the structure of these relationships -
One release page/widget will include multiple releases
Each release can consist of one or more issues
Know more about the release page &’s related information and its reactions are displayed.
View release
This is how the release pages & widgets are listed, along with the corresponding number of releases. One can click on ‘x Releases’ (5 releases here) link & it will reveal each of the releases within that release page/widget.
On the Releases page, each release’s related information and its reactions are displayed.
Clicking on View reveals the data inside of each release that is visible in the end-user-facing release page or widget.
Other actions
As shown in the image below, Sync, Move up, and Move down options are available for releases when clicked on the down arrow beside the view button.
Sync
This will retrieve the latest data from the Jira issues associated with this release. Click on Confirm if you wish to continue.
Move up or down
Click on Move Up or Move Down to change the order
Delete release
Clicking on the Delete under actions that are available against each of the listed releases will delete the corresponding release data from the release page/widget.
This action is irreversible.
Release Page Subscriber management
The Subscription feature is specifically designed for the Release pages feature, making this section relevant solely to that context.
Your stakeholders can subscribe to release pages if the Subscription feature is enabled. You can also enable the subscriber notifications so subscribers get an email notification when a new release is published on the release page. Below are some actions available to manage your release page subscribers -
Add subscriber
You can also manually add new subscribers using the add subscriber button. Once the subscriber is added, stakeholder gets an email to confirm the subscibtion, if they confirm the status is shown as subscriber otherwise it remains as invited.
Unsubscribe
When stakeholder are already subscribed and you want to unsubscribe them upon their request or to you want to delete the release page, you can use this option. You can unsubscribe single user by clicking on the Unsubscribe icon, or do a bulk selection and unsubscribe.
Copy
Copy action is available to copy the same subscriber to other release pages from the same or different projects.
Export
You can export the subscriber data for any relevant reasons. Here, one of the case is that if you are deleting the release page, you can export the susbciners' data for your internal record purpose.
