Organize deployments

[ExhaustedTech]

Are there any plans to allow us to sort deployments, jobs, saved commands, etc into folders or in any type of organizational way? With so many and no way to even sort by name, it’s significantly harder to manage our lists.

They’re all sortable by name already. I’m not sure what you’re doing. For example, go to ‘Actions > Deploy > Create modify’ and in the ‘Saved Deployments’ grid on the right side of the window you can organize your commands by sorting them and/or by making them either visible or invisible in the BatchPatch action menus.

Where is a button to hide them? I only have a delete button.
Folders would still be helpful to be able to sort into

See the column that says “Visible” with all of the checkboxes…

We’ll consider additional organization options for a future version

[ExhaustedTech]

Is that in a more recent version? I don’t have those options

[doug]

If you don’t see it then yes you should download the latest version. Use ‘Help > Check for updates’ in the app. The default behavior of the app is to notify you of any available update each time you launch the app, but maybe you disabled that.

[ExhaustedTech]

Yes, it was disabled because it would always download an empty zip file. We would have to download it directly from the site for newer versions. I’ve installed it and being able to hide deployments that are rarely used is very helpful. If we get folders, that would be perfect!

I think that a way to allow organizing this is to allow in the titles of the scripts to add folder like structure so I could for example add
SQL\Script1
SQL\Script2
Windows\Script3
IIS\Certs\Script4

and each “folder” would be a sub-menu in the deploy script menus
