Summary

The Project Release Options dialog is used to assign the applicable Outjobs and define how the target data items in a server (whose revisions receive the generated data) are named when releasing a project.

Access

The dialog is accessed in the following ways:

  • Click Options in the Release view of the Project Releaser (Project » Project Releaser).
  • From the Project Releaser, click on the Target Revision link for a data set to be released then choose Edit from the context menu.
This access option is available only when performing an online release (i.e. if you are currently connected to a server).
