Whether you are starting fresh in CloudBees CD/RO or learning a new concept, you can use the Hierarchy Menu to learn about the CloudBees CD/RO object model structure and product capabilities. This is a wizard-like menu that aids in application, microservice, and environment modeling in CloudBees CD/RO by helping you to visualize the relationships between objects in a project and coaching you along the way by indicating the next actions that are needed. This menu provides an easy-to-understand view of the model structure and where you are within it, highlights missing pieces, and streamlines navigation across objects.
The Hierarchy Menu is available in the Application Editor, the Microservice Editor, the Environment Editor, pipelines, and releases.
