Table 1. Create release form

Field	Description
Release name	Unique release name to identify the release.
Product	Product for which the release is created.
Version	Version of the product that is included in the release.
Release template	Template that defines the release process. The template applies the predefined phases, tasks, policies, and approvals to this release. For more information, see Create a release template. Based on the template you select, the release follows either a timeline-oriented or stage-oriented release process. For more information, see Release for a product.
Release readiness target	Readiness target to indicate when the product should be ready for the release. Note: This field is optional for the stage-oriented releases. For more information, see Create a release readiness target. This field appears only when Out of band is clear.
Out of band	Option to make this release as an out-of-band release, which means it isn’t associated with any existing release readiness target. Instead, a new release readiness target is created for the selected date. The option to create out-of-band releases depends on the following system properties configuration: out_of_band_release_allowed is set to true. You have one of the roles listed in out_of_band_release_roles. For more information, see Digital Product Release properties.
Release date	Date of release for an out-of-band release. This field appears only when Out of band is selected.
Release calendar	Release calendar on which the release is targeted. If a release target exists on the selected date in the release calendar, the release is added to it. If not, a release target is created and the release is added to it. For more information, see Create a release calendar. This field appears only when Out of band is selected.
