Generating Release Notes
You can generate release notes by clicking the Release Notes link in top-right corner of a release box.
On the next screen you can choose the format of the release notes document: Plain text, HTML Wiki with interwiki links, Wiki without interwiki links, MS Word or PDF.
The default release notes documents contain simplistic issue lists. To support custom content and formatting, release notes are generated from templates. If you have special content or formatting requirements, edit the corresponding Velocity templates in the $CODEBEAMER_INSTALLATION_DIRECTORY/tomcat/ webapps/cb/config/templates/release- notes directory.
Certain conditions must be met to list issues in release notes. You can assign Meaning properties to the Status and Resolved fields. For an issue to appear in release notes, the following conditions must be met:
• Status is Resolved or Closed
• Resolution is Successful
You can change properties on the Fields tab of the tracker customization by clicking the Option link of the corresponding field. The following screenshots show the configuration of the Meaning property for the Status and Resolution fields in the default bugs tracker. Before making changes to these settings, see the Status and Resolution Meaning section of Tracker Workflows. These settings have direct effect on workflows and their behaviors.
