Control Panel Features
The control panel appears once a remote instance is selected and provides key status indicators and actions for Team Development workflows:
- Parent: Shows connection status to the parent instance, with error details accessible by hovering or selecting the indicator.
- Change: Allows changing the parent instance to another development instance.
- Reconcile: Compares your local development instance with the current parent instance to align versions.
- Ready to Pull: Displays how many changes exist on the parent that can be pulled locally.
- Pull: Initiates pulling changes from the parent instance.
- Push: Opens a review page for local changes that can be pushed to the parent instance.
- Refresh: Updates all status indicators on the control panel; note the dashboard refreshes only on page reload.
- Local: Shows the status of the latest comparison with another development instance, highlighting collisions if present.
- Collisions: Indicates the number of conflicts between local changes and pulled versions; provides quick access to resolve them.
- Compare To: Lets you select a different development instance to compare against your local instance.
- Ready to Push: Shows how many local changes are queued for pushing to the parent instance.
- Local Changes: Displays local changes not yet queued or ignored, with direct access to manage them.
- Ignored: Lists local changes marked to be ignored during pushes, accessible for review.
Dashboard Lists
The dashboard organizes Team Development data into several lists for efficient tracking and management:
- Local Changes: Lists all local changes pending queuing or ignoring.
- Pushes and Pulls: Provides a history of synchronization actions, with expandable details on transferred records.
- Instance Comparisons: Shows past comparisons with other development instances to monitor differences.
- Collisions: Displays conflicts that must be resolved prior to pushing or pulling changes, with options to resolve directly.
- Ready to Push: Lists local changes queued for the next push operation.
- Ignored: Displays local changes excluded from all push operations.
Practical Benefits for ServiceNow Customers
This dashboard streamlines version control and collaboration in Team Development by providing comprehensive visibility into local and remote changes, enabling efficient synchronization, conflict resolution, and change management. It helps maintain consistency across development instances and accelerates deployment cycles by simplifying push and pull operations.
The team dashboard provides a central place to manage all Team Development activities on your development instance.
You can track local changes, pull, and push changes between the local and parent instances, compare the local instance to other development instances, and resolve any collisions. You can also reconcile with the current parent instance or change the parent instance.
