Feature Commits

The Feature Commit History provides a comprehensive record of all commits executed during the feature migration deployment. It includes detailed commit logs and enumerates the objects committed to the version control system.

Step-By-Step Guide:

1. From the left navigation pane under the nCino section, select Commit History to access the commit records.

   
2. Commit History Table Overview: Each row in the Commit History table corresponds to an individual commit. The table contains the following columns:

   1. Commit Label: The name or identifier of the commit, typically reflecting the deployment or feature context.

   2. Committed By: Email address of the user who performed the commit.

   3. Committed Date: Timestamp showing when the commit occurred.

   4. Revision: A unique revision hash or identifier generated by the VCS.

   5. Status: A visual indicator of whether the commit succeeded (green check) or failed (red cross).

   6. Actions: Offers a document icon that lets you view commit-related data.

3. Filtering Options: Users can narrow down commit entries using the Filters menu.

   
4. The available filter fields include:

   1. Revision: Enter a specific revision ID.

   2. Comment: Filter by commit messages.

   3. Commit Status: Filter based on success or failure.

   4. Committed By: Filter by committer's email.

   5. Committed Date Range: Filter commits by date range.

   6. Feature Name: Search based on the associated feature.

   7. Version: Filter by version identifiers.

   8. Deployment Label: Specify labels used during deployments.

   9. Click Apply to enforce filters or Reset to clear them.

5. Column Customization: The Columns menu allows users to configure which columns are visible in the table:

   1. Commit Label

   2. Committed By

   3. Committed Date

   4. Repo Name

   5. Branch Name

   6. Revision

      
6. Version Control Integration: At the top of the screen, users can filter commits based on:

   1. Version Control Type: Dropdown allows selection of supported VCS providers (e.g., GIT).

      
   2. Repository: Select from available repositories associated with the chosen VCS.

      
   3. Branch: Choose the relevant branch name for further narrowing the data.

      
7. Commit Queue

   The Commit Queue provides a sequential view of all commit jobs that are scheduled for execution. This section allows users to review, manage, and prioritize commit operations within a selected repository and branch context. Commit queue functionality ensures orderly execution, preventing conflicts and preserving consistency during version control operations.

   1. Accessing the Commit Queue: To view the commit queue:

      1. Navigate to the Commit History section via the left sidebar.

      2. Click the "Commit queue" button located at the top-right corner of the commit history table.

      
   2. This action opens a slide-out panel on the right-hand side of the screen titled Commit Queue.

      Interface Layout and Fields

   3. The commit queue panel is divided into a header note and a tabular data section.

      Instructional Note

      At the top of the panel, a note states:

      "Jobs will be executed in order from top to bottom based on the updated priority. Ensure the sequence is correctly arranged before proceeding."

      
   4. Commit Queue Table: Jobs in the queue can be rearranged based on priority, and execution will follow the defined sequence accordingly.

      When commit jobs exist, they are displayed in a table with the following columns:

      • Repository – Displays the name of the source code repository involved in the commit operation.

      • Branch – Indicates the specific branch under the selected repository.

      • Comment – Reflects any user-provided commit message or description entered during the commit process.

      • Committed by – Shows the username or email address of the individual who initiated the commit.

      • Date – Displays the date and time when the commit was added to the queue.

      • Type – Specifies the nature or classification of the commit job.

      • Delete – Provides a delete (trash) icon to remove the job from the queue if needed.

   5. Empty State

      When there are no pending commit jobs, the queue displays the message “No jobs found”, as seen in the screenshot. This indicates that all commit jobs have either been executed or none have been added yet.

   6. Final Actions

      At the bottom-right corner of the commit queue panel, two buttons are displayed:

      • Cancel – Closes the commit queue panel without saving changes.

        • Save – Confirms and saves any reordering or modifications made to the job list.

8. Accessing the Revision Log from the Commit History Interface

   The Commit History interface includes an extended option set for each commit entry, facilitating a deeper view into the actions associated with a given commit. One such utility is the Revision Log, which allows examination of all files involved in the commit along with the type of actions performed on each.

   1. Viewing the Revision Log

      To open the Revision Log for any specific commit:

      • Click on the ellipsis (three-dot) icon under the Actions column.

      • From the dropdown menu, select Revision Log.

      This opens a side panel displaying a structured list of files that were included in that particular commit.

      
   2. Details in the Revision Log

      The Revision Log consists of the following information:

      • File Name: Shows the full path of the committed file relative to the repository structure. This helps identify the exact location and nature of the file (e.g., configuration, datasets, metadata).

      • Action: Indicates the operation that was executed on the file during the commit:

        • M: File was modified.

        • A: File was added as new content in the version control system.

      
9. File Diff Overview in Commit History

   Within the Commit History module, each commit entry includes an action menu represented by an ellipsis (⋮) under the "Actions" column. Selecting the "File Diff" option from this menu opens a comprehensive comparison interface that highlights the differences introduced by the commit.

   1. File Diff Modal: Data Tab

      The File Diff modal is divided into two tabs—Data and Filters. The Data tab displays the structural content changes associated with the selected commit.

      • 
      • The top-level entity in this section is the data container or template name (e.g., arm_ncino-BrandTemplate3611-1.0).

        • Each associated file is listed hierarchically under this container.

          • For each file, the following options are available:

            • Download icon to retrieve the file.

            • Action Type indicator showing "A" for additions.

            • A horizontal bar visualizing the volume of changes.

          • In the case shown, the changes include 48417 Additions, 0 Deletions, and 48417 Total Changes.

   2. File Diff Modal: Filters Tab

      Switching to the Filters tab within the File Diff modal enables the inspection of metadata filters applied during the commit.

      

      • Click on the Download icon to retrieve the file.

      • Each expandable section reveals the JSON content of individual files.
