Step Name

Enter a unique name for your preflight step. You can use any name of your choice.

SCM Configuration

Use the pull-down menu to select a source control configuration. If a configuration for your source control type does not appear in the drop-down menu, select the Administration > Source Control tabs to configure your source control system.

This field appears after specifying your SCM from the pull-down menu. If this field does not specify "Required", you do not need to enter this information. The Destination Directory is a path relative to the job’s workspace, where the source tree will be created.
