Application Installations

As an Application Developer or Release Manager, you use the Installations list to track the installation status of an Application. This view provides an overview of the Components that are installed on the Deployment Targets, the Artifacts deployed (if any), and the Package used for the deployment.

Note: As an Operator, you access the Comparisons view to compare the installations of an Application on two Environments, for example, Test compared to Production Environment. For more information, see: Working with Comparisons.
