Task Selection Dialog

This feature is only available to users that hold a Pro License and Tasks can be used ONLY in the Tasks Section of the project script

The Task Selection dialog allows you to choose whether Tasks you have created in your project script should be run or ignored when you execute a project script from within Pipeline Runner Studio. This could be because you do not want to repeat some of the tasks, or because you have a single script and you want to be able to choose its configuration for each run.

If you have configured a Tasks Section and added at least one Task to it, the dialog will be displayed automatically when you click the Run Project toolbar button or menu item. If there are two or more tasks, the dialog will display the Configuration options:

Note: The tasks shown above are entirely fictitious. The items you will see when you have a Tasks Section in your project will be specific to you and the script you have created.

Toolbar
	Check All	Click this button to automatically select ALL tasks
	Check None	Click this button to automatically deselect ALL tasks
	Revert	Click this button to restore the options to the state they were in when the dialog opened.
	Configuration	Drop this combo to select from any configurations that have been saved. A configuration is a set of values indicating which Tasks should be checked and which should not be. Note: This can be very useful where you want to have a single Project that can do multiple things, for example create a full update release including incrementing the version, and creating an update of the update release where you do not want the version incremented.
	Add Configuration	Click this button to save the current set of task options.
	Instructions	At the top will be a set of instructions telling you how to use the dialog. Specifically there are two ways in which the dialog could be configured: •Checked by Default: Uncheck any tasks that you do NOT want to run •Unchecked by Default: Check any tasks that you DO want to run The configuration is determined by the settings in the Options dialog.
	Tasks	Each task will have a check box and a description. Check or uncheck the boxes to suit your requirements.
	OK Button	Click this button to close the dialog and save any changes made to the list. This button is not available if no changes have been made.
	Cancel Button	Click this button to close the dialog discarding any changes that may have been made.

There is always a default configuration, which represents the way in which the Tasks were configured in the script and the default setting (initially Checked or initially Unchecked).

To create a configuration, simply select or deselect the relevant entries in the dialog, and then click the Add Configuration button. A new dialog will be displayed for you to enter a name for the new Configuration:

When you click the OK button, the new configuration will be stored as part of the current Project.

You can edit a configuration by selecting or deselecting the relevant entries in the dialog, and then click the Add Configuration button and give it the name of the existing configuration that you would like to change. A warning will be displayed, and if you allow it to continue the original configuration will be overwritten with the new one.

To select a configuration, simply drop the combo and select from the configurations that have already been created:

When you select a configuration, the dialog will be automatically reconfigured to match:

IMPORTANT: When you add to or edit the list of configurations the project is marked as having been modified. If you then close the project without saving the changes, all changes to the configurations will be lost.
