Edit product settings

Edit a product's general settings to rename the product, personalize it with an avatar image, or add a description that can include badges embedded in Markdown.

For example, you may need to edit product settings if you have registered multiple products at the same time.

Note: When adding a description, you can embed custom badges from external sites, or PulseUno chain badges that display the chain name and the result of the latest chain run. To add a chain badge, first you need to enable the badge on a chain. For details, see Set chain options.

To edit a product:

  1. On the top navigation bar, select a space from the spaces list.

  2. On the Products page, click a product's name to open the product.

  3. On the sidebar, select Settings > General. The product's General settings open.

  4. Change the product's details, as needed:

    Field Description
    Title Update the product name.
    Trust URI

    (Read-only value) Copy the Trust URI to set this product as trusted for a Git repository or vault.

    For details on how to set trusted products, see Define trusted products for Git repository and Define trusted products for vault.

    Avatar

    Add an avatar image for the product. You can upload a PNG file up to 200 Kb.

    By default, the product inherits the avatar from its space.

    Note

    Provide additional information about the product.

    To monitor the state of specific chains, add chain status badges. For details on how to find the URL for the chain badge, see Set chain options.

    You can also add custom SVG badges from other sites.

    Use Markdown to embed the badge URL. For chain status badges, you can use relative paths.

    Example 1: Embed a chain status badge:

    ![PulseUno Tests](/pulse/services/rest/suites/<space-id>/products/<product-id>/chains/<chain-id>/badge.svg)

    Example 2: Embed a chain status badge that links to the chain page:

    [![PulseUno Scan](/pulse/services/rest/suites/<space-id>/products/<product-id>/chains/<chain-id>/badge.svg)](/pulse/services/rest/suites/<space-id>/products/<product-id>/chains/<chain-id>)

    For more syntax examples, see Markdown syntax reference.
