About Baseline and Release Templates

The management of Baseline and Release Templates in the Administration Console enables you to define the criteria for the items that are included in baselines or releases.

NOTE Templates for items and requests are different in nature. For details, see Item and Request Templates.

Managing baseline and release templates enable you to:

- List (query) existing baseline and release templates in the Dimensions base database.

- Create a baseline template to determine the items to be selected for inclusion when creating a baseline.

- Create a release template to determine which items are included in a release and the sub-directories into which they are copied.

- Optionally assign group names to collections of item types which may then be specified for a release template rule.

- Edit or delete existing baseline and release templates.
