Creating tasks

By default, new tasks are inserted at the bottom of the deployment plan. After a task is created, you can move it, or copy it and paste it into another deployment plan. You can also create dependencies with other tasks.

Tasks can be added to a deployment by creating a new task or importing an existing task.

After you save a task, actions are displayed for the task. You use actions to change the task's status during a deployment. All tasks have the skip Skip action action. Other actions, such as the start Start action action, are displayed when the context is appropriate for them.

  1. From the Deployment Plan details page, click Create task to create one or more tasks.
