Administering
Users with the correct permissions can configure security, create users, configure integrations, and create notifications and announcements among other things.
- Integrations
  When you configure integrations, you allow Build to use and manage the objects and artifacts that are produced in external tools such as HCL DevOps Deploy (Deploy).
- Managing scripts
  The script library provides numerous scripts for you to use and modify.
- User notifications
  Build can send information about build results to selected users by email, instant messaging, and other methods.
- Security
  Build provides a flexible team-based, and role-based security model that maps to your organizational structure.
- Project support
  Projects represent items that can be built individually for release or distribution.
  - Creating artifact sets
    Artifact sets are groups of artifacts that are produced by a build.
  - Managing cleanups
    Cleanups are scheduled based on the cleanup policy. The cleanup policy contains settings that determine when build lives, build requests, and miscellaneous jobs are cleaned up.
  - Adding and editing cleanup policy settings
    Use the cleanup settings to determine when build lives, build requests, and miscellaneous jobs are cleaned up.
  - Managing Labels
    Labels are assigned to build lives. Using the Label page, you can create, modify, and delete labels. Deleting a label removes the label from the server.
  - Creating lockable resources
    Lockable resources are resources that can be reserved by other objects, such as agents, when a process runs.
  - Repositories
    Repositories contain the source materials that are used in build processes.
  - Creating schedules
    You can use schedules to determine when certain events, such as builds and backups, occur.
  - Creating statuses
    Statuses represent build conditions, such as success or failure.
- Server management
  Use server settings to manage your server other system-related settings.
- Agents
  Agents are light-weight processes that are installed on hosts and communicate with the Build server.
- Creating scripts to automate administrative tasks
  The Build Client facilitates writing scripts that interact with various REST endpoints in Build to automate tasks such as creating templates, assembling projects, running builds, and various other administrative tasks.
- Accessing development tools
  Use the Tools window to access the Build development tools.
- Installing plug-ins
  You install plug-ins by downloading the installation files and loading them into Build.
Creating and Managing Projects
Projects run builds, manage dependencies with third-party tools, and can be used for administrative, operational, and system maintenance.
Creating Jobs and Processes
Jobs are the core building blocks of Build. Process definitions assemble jobs into the basic unit of automation. A process definition determines how, when, and where jobs run.
Managing Project Templates
Project templates are reusable plans that map build processes.
Monitoring and Reporting
With the monitoring tools you can review current and historical activity and save your filter conditions for future use. You can create charts and reports from most database tables.
Extending Product Functions
You can create your own plug-ins to extend the product’s capabilities.

Creating artifact sets

Artifact sets are groups of artifacts that are produced by a build.

Before you begin

Typically, there is an artifact set for each type of artifact. Run-time-dependent artifacts, such as jar or dll type files, might be contained in an artifact set called lib. Source code artifacts might be contained in an artifact set called source.

Procedure

On the left navigational panel, click System > Artifact Sets.
Using the Artifact Sets page, click Create New.
Using the New Artifact Set dialog box, type a name for the workflow in the Name field.
Optionally, enter a description of the artifact set in the Description area.
Click Save.

What to do next

Artifact sets can be configured when you create build process templates. See Creating build process templates.
