Site Settings

This is where you set the site settings that controls how the site works. You can select Settings->Admin->Site Settings from the menu if you have the Administrator right.

Configure SMTP Settings

Optionally, email is used by Release Manager application to send a user a new password if they have forgotten theirs. This is optional because an administrator can also reset a user's password. This page is used enter your SMTP setting and test that they work. A "Sent Test Email" button will be visible after a successful save.

Build Folder Sort Order

When the Release Manager application does a build it combines all of the SQL scripts into a single SQL file. It first looks to see if you have assigned a sort order to a file and sorts by that. For files that don't have a sort order the default is zero, so you can assign a negative number if you want something to be included first. Next it sorts the files based on the folder that they are in. So a script file in the "table" folder will be included before a scripts in the "trigger" folder, etc.

System Build Variables

This is where you set the defaults for System Build Variables.

Release Stages

Some groups want to track their releases all the way to production. Some groups stop tracking once the build goes to QA. If you want to track your releases past the first level you can define the different stages that it can be released to.
