Nodes are part of environments where artifacts are deployed to.

Properties

The document type node provides the following properties:

 

Please note that only information about specific properties is provided here. Common document property used by all document types are documented by Document Properties.

Type

Organize nodes by their types.

Environments

Attach a node to an environment.

URI

Provide a unique URI to identify the node described in this document.

The URI may point to the online system (in one of the environments).

Sections

Description

Describe the node as a deployment target for artifacts.

Deployment

Describe the deployment procedure for the node. This may include references to management documents.

Configuration

Describe the typical or recommended configuration of the node.

Subordinate Nodes

List of nodes within this node.

Notes

These are internal notes that are usually not exported and only visible to team members with write access.

But this is not a safe place to store sensible information. It is just a convenience for the reader to not be bothered with notes stored here for the authors for later use. The security level is about suppressing the representation by a CSS style. Therefore consider this as a convenience for the reader, not as a security tool.

 

The text of notes sections is also indexed.

References

For a document the references section contains pointers to resources that prove the statements of the document.

Often these proofs are not easily distinguishable from further information. In this case you may want to skip the reference section in favour for the resource list.

 

For further information please refer to References and Resources.

Resources

The resources section provides references to further information to the topic of the document.

This may be information on the internet provided by the resource or information in the team's information systems. Anything the reader of the resource might want to know, may be listed here.
