Releases in ISO Mate are version milestones that group completed work so you can track progress toward a shipment. You manage them from the Releases page in the DevOps group of the left sidebar, and each release moves through the Unreleased, Released, and Archived states. A progress bar on every release shows how many of its issues are done.
Creating a release
- Open Releases: In the left sidebar, expand the DevOps group and select Releases.
- Start a new release: Select New Release to open the release dialog.
- Enter the details: Give the release a version name (required) and an optional description.
- Save: Confirm to create the release. It begins in the Unreleased state.
Release states
Each release carries a state badge that controls which actions are available.
- Unreleased: The version is still in progress. You can edit it, link issues to it, release it, or delete it.
- Released: The version has shipped. ISO Mate records the release date and locks the version, so it can no longer be edited or deleted.
- Archived: The version is kept as a historical record and stays locked.
Releasing and archiving a version
Row actions on the Releases list drive each state change. Releasing and archiving need the release management permission.
- Release: On an Unreleased version, select the Release action and confirm. The version moves to Released and its release date is set.
- Archive: On a Released version, select the Archive action and confirm. The version moves to Archived.
- Delete: Only an Unreleased version can be deleted. Released and Archived versions are locked.
You can also select several rows at once to release, archive, or delete them in bulk. ISO Mate applies each action only to the versions in the eligible state and skips the rest.
Linking issues and tracking progress
Assign an issue to a release from the issue itself, using its release field. Open a release to see its detail view, where issues are grouped by type (Epic, Story, Task, Bug, and Subtask) with a done count for each group. From that view you can edit an issue inline, adjust its ICE score, and open any issue for full detail.
Finding and exporting releases
The Releases list supports search, sorting, and a state filter for Unreleased, Released, or Archived. Use the Export control to download the current list as CSV or PDF.
