triggering

There are a number of methods by which Bamboo can 'trigger' (i.e. execute) a Plan's build,

• Build Strategy:
  • Code updated — a Plan's build is triggered whenever one or more authors checks in code.
  • Scheduled build — a Plan's build is triggered at scheduled times or specified time intervals.
  • Manual build — a Plan's build is only ever triggered manually.
  • Initial clean build — a Plan's build is triggered immediately after a new Plan has been created.
• Build Dependency:
  • Dependency — a build can be triggered whenever another Plan's build is successfully completed.

The trigger method for a Plan's build is listed in the 'Reason' column on the Dashboard.

Note that these trigger methods can only be configured by a Bamboo administrator. For more information please see Triggering a Plan Build.
