Associating an Outcome with Releases

Associate an Outcome with Releases through the Schedule Tab

To associate an outcome with releases through the Schedule tab:

On the Outcomes menu, click the relevant outcome and then click Outcome View. For help with menus, see Menu Basics.
Use the Search text box in the banner to search for a specific outcome. Then on the relevant row, click > Outcome View.

Click the Schedule tab.
Click Select Release, and then use the Data Picker to select the appropriate releases.
A row for each release you selected is appended to the Milestones, Releases, and Stages section of the Schedule tab. For some business rules relevant to the tab, see this article's Dig Deeper section.

Schedule tab after an outcome is associated with another release

The following business rules apply to the Schedule screen and Schedule tab:
- You can't edit release names through the Schedule screen or Schedule tab because an administrator specifies those names while defining the Release structure.
- Although you can't set release dates through the Schedule screen or Schedule tab, administrators can create configured screens that support setting release dates through the Review Releases screen.
You can delete an outcome's association with a release by clicking > Delete on the appropriate row. Doing so doesn't delete the release.
On the Outcome Portfolio View screen and Strategy Portfolio View screen, clicking > Outcome View on an appropriate row accesses the Outcome View screen. You can then click the Schedule tab.
Depending on your system's configuration, you can also associate a strategic entity with releases and associate work with releases.
In addition to letting you associate releases with outcomes, the system permits configuring an Outcome portfolio's advanced options so that the relevant portfolio includes outcomes relevant to specific releases.

If you can't associate an outcome with releases, contact your administrator to ensure that the following prerequisites are met.
