Manifest files contain metadata that describe all development objects required for a specific application that you develop in Workflow Studio. When you create a manifest, you select the items required by your application.

You can create as many manifests as needed to test your application with different configurations.

Create a manifest

  1. In Workflow Studio, click the Deployment Services button on the Common ribbon.


    This opens the Deployment pane. The Deployment pane contains three elements:

    • A duplicate of your Source Control tree

    • Build order pane

    • Results pane

       

  2. Click the New Manifest button.


    This opens the Add to Manifest dialog, which contains a duplicate tree view of your source control.

     

  3. Expand the tree and select the items that you want to include in the manifest and then click OK.

     

  4. Select the folder on your machine in which to place the manifest and then click Save. In our example, we are placing the manifest in a folder we created named _manifests.

     

We created the _manifests folder as a logical location in which to keep our manifests. Prefixing the folder with an underscore keeps it from being added to source control.
