Release states#

sysman sysadmin

Every release has a state that determines its visibility and defines what may happen to the items assigned to it.

Allegra ships four release states. Each state carries a “type flag” that controls the availability of the release.

State name	Description
planned	Appears only in the “Release scheduled” selection field. Such releases have usually not yet begun and are planned for the future.
deferred	Does not appear in the “Scheduled release” selection field, but in the “Detected in” field. Such releases are deferred — no new items arise.
released	Does not appear in the “Scheduled release” selection field, but in the “Released” field. Such releases are published — no new items arise.
archived	Appears neither in “Release scheduled” nor in “Release noticed”. Such releases have usually been published for a longer time and are no longer supported.

The values and logic of the type flag are shown in the following table:

Type flag	Description
active (e.g. in development)	Releases of type “active” are open to the full range of functionality. They appear in “Detected in” and in “Planned for” and are typically under active development.
inactive (e.g. released)	Releases of type “inactive” cannot be chosen in “Release scheduled”, but appear in “Detected in”. They are usually published — you no longer schedule any new items for them.
planned	Releases of type “planned” cannot be chosen in “Detected in”, but appear in the “Release scheduled” field. Such releases are planned for the future.
closed	Releases of type “closed” appear neither in “Release scheduled” nor in “Detected in”. Such releases have usually been published for a longer time and are no longer supported.
