Deploy Reference Data

If you have administrator privileges, the ClosedDeploy Reference Data tool allows you to activate or deactivate the reference groups and items that are currently configured.

A system file contains a complete set of all the reference data groups and items that can be deployed. However, since many sites will only require a subset of all possible reference data groups and items, the ability to quickly customise the configuration for a particular site is useful.

When you select the Other Options | Deploy Reference Data option (see above) from the navigation pane, the reference groups and icons currently deployed (i.e. check boxes selected) and un-deployed (i.e. check boxes not selected) are shown.

Use the check boxes to deploy or un-deploy reference groups.

Expand the reference groups to select the Categories to deploy or un-deploy.

Only the groups and items that are selected as deployed will be listed under their respective categories.

Click OK to deploy the selected reference data.

Note: When you un-deploy a reference group or item, no data is removed from the database. Instead, an "Active" flag for that data is set to False.

To update an existing group, item, or category, do the following:

  1. Un-deploy the group, item, or category and click OK to apply the change.
  2. Select the Deploy Reference Data option again.
  3. Re-deploy the group, item, or category and click OK to apply the change.
