- Team space management
  You might want to become a team space member, add members to your team space, change a user role in a team space, modify the team space, or delete a team space.
- Test assets and a server project
  HCL OneTest™ Server projects manage access to your test assets, which are stored in a Git repository. Projects are maintained in a team space. Projects are either public by default or private. Private projects are not discoverable by other users. You can either add your own project or you can request to be a member of another public project.
- Managing repositories
  After you create a project in HCL OneTest™ Server, you can add repositories that contain test assets and resources to the project. You can also change the repository details, update the user credentials of a repository, delete a repository, create a webhook for the configured repository.
  - Adding repositories to a server project
    You can add repositories to a server project to access assets and resources available in the respective repository.
  - Updating the authentication credentials of the repository
    If the authentication credentials of the Git repository which was added to your project are changed, then you must update the credentials of the repository in HCL OneTest™ Server.
  - Deleting a repository
    You can delete repositories that you no longer require in your test environment.
  - Refreshing repositories manually
    You can manually trigger the refresh activity for a repository to instantly fetch and synchronize the changes from the remote repository.
  - Selecting the global branch in a project
    After you add one or more repositories to your project, you can start accessing all branches in all repositories of that project. You can select only one branch as a global branch from the list of branches in the Execution, Datasets, and Overview pages.
  - Creating webhooks
    You can configure a webhook for a repository in the Git server to notify HCL OneTest™ Server whenever there is a push event in the remote repository. Then, the refresh activity is triggered to fetch the latest changes to the server repository.
- Protecting API test assets by using secrets
  Secrets are key-value pairs that are created for your project in HCL OneTest™ Server under a secrets collection. You can create secrets collections for your project that enable you or members in your project to use secrets at test runtime either in HCL OneTest Server or in desktop clients.
- Managing an encrypted dataset
  You can use encrypted datasets to limit access to confidential information such as account number or passwords. You can arrange data by an appropriate category so that project members can use datasets more effectively in certain tests and protect them.
- Managing notifications
  HCL OneTest™ Server provides a feature to display notifications for different events within the user interface (UI) of HCL OneTest Server. You can configure an SMTP server on HCL OneTest Server when you want HCL OneTest Server to send out notifications about the different events as emails to the subscribed users.

Selecting the global branch in a project

After you add one or more repositories to your project, you can start accessing all branches in all repositories of that project. You can select only one branch as a global branch from the list of branches in the Execution, Datasets, and Overview pages.

Before you begin

You must have completed the following tasks:

Been assigned a member or Project Creator role in a team space
Added at least one repository in your project.

About this task

You can access all the branches contained in all the repositories, which are added to the project, by using the Branch field on the Execution, Datasets, and Overview pages.

After you select a branch from any of the repositories as the global branch, this selection is retained for you as the global branch unless you change the branch on any of the following pages: Overview, Execution, or Datasets pages.

Note:

When you add the first repository to a project, the global branch is set to the default branch of the repository.
Branches are arranged in an increasing order of their names in the list.
When you change the branch in one of the pages, then the same branch is displayed as selected in the other pages and the contents of that page displays the assets from the selected branch.

Procedure

Log in to HCL OneTest™ Server and open the team space that contains your project.
Open the project.

The project Overview page is displayed.
Go to the Overview page.
Select a branch from the Branch field.

The branch that you selected in the Overview page is reflected in the Execution and Datasets pages and the test assets are filtered based on the global branch selection on each of these pages.

Results

You have selected a global branch in a project.
