Releases are organized by number. This version number is set by default when the release is created during the import process and is based on a predefined template that can include fixed text and/or variables. When a release is created multiple times, the version number increases corresponding to the variables defined in its application. The user defines which part of the version to increment for each import in order to conform with the increasing release versions according to the Automatic Release Number Generation Algorithm.
Open the artifacts menu to manage the default version of the variables that create the release number template.
To change the default template, click on Artifacts and edit the Release Number Template field using any combination of fixed text and/or the version variables available:
- ${major}
- ${minor}
- ${build}
- ${revision}
- ${qualifier}
The hierarchy of these variables is always in this order: major > minor > build > revision. Be sure to keep this in mind when entering the order of the variables in your template.
When defined, the default template is available in the Release Number Template section in the application editor. You can override the default in each application by changing it manually.
