Creating branches in the team application

After you provide team members with access to the team application, create the branches in the team application by doing the following.

1. On the Definition tab of the application rule, click Add Branch.
2. In the Add a Branch ID dialog, enter a name for the new branch and click Submit.
3. If you are using multiple branches in the application rule, ensure that the order of the branches as listed in the Current development branches list matches the order in which the rules should be resolved for this development application's users (the developers on the team).

When a developer logs into this development application, the system assembles the developer's ruleset list, and the branch rulesets according to the sequence in which the branches are listed in the Current development branches list.

4. In the Current development branches list, drag and drop the branches to set the desired order.
5. Save the application rule. (If the system has re-displayed an initial row in the Application RuleSets list, remove it by clicking and then save the rule.) The system adds the branch to the Current development branches list.
6. Create the branch rulesets.

If you plan to create new rules, it is recommended that you create branch rulesets before development. Create a branched ruleset of a ruleset where you expect the rules to exist after the branch is merged. If you are modifying existing rules, you can use Check Out > Check out to branch from the rule form toolbar and then select the branch into which to place the rule. This action creates the branch ruleset and copies your rule into that ruleset.
