1. Click the Deployments tab to see its contents.
   The tab contains the deployment configurations that are available to your user role.

   The cloud portal has three standard environments: development, test, and production. You can only see the environments that are available to your user role. For example, the business user has access to only the development and test environments, and can only see the deployment configurations for these two environments.

   Go through the tabs in the configuration:

   • General: Provides an overview of the deployment configuration, including the name, type, RuleApp name, and base version number.
   • Operations: Lists the decision operations to deploy. Here, Miniloan Service Operation is selected for deployment. Decision operations define how the rules are used in specific rulesets for deployment. Hover over the decision operation name to see its content.
   • Targets: Lists where the rules can be deployed. The environment for this deployment is the development environment.
   • Ruleset Properties: Defines the versioning policy for each deployment. You use the default settings.
   • Groups: Lets the administrator choose which groups can deploy using this deployment configuration.
