Configuring Builds

Create or open the text file for customized properties. For more information, see Editing Properties Using MQL.
To set the default build type that is used during build creation, follow these steps:
1. Add or edit this line in the file used to import properties into a page object:
```
emxProductLine.Build.CreateBuild.DefaultType=Hardware Build
```
2. Set the value for this property depending on your business requirements:
  - Hardware Build = The default type of build will be Hardware.
  - Software Build = The default type of build will be Software.
To set the maximum number of builds that can be generated from a single build creation, follow these steps:
1. Add or edit this line in the file used to import properties into a page object:
```
emxProductLine.Build.CreateBuild.NumberLimit=100
```
2. Set the value of this property to a whole number. This value corresponds to the maximum value that can be entered in the Number of Builds field on the Create Build page.
To configure the number of days that determines the threshold value to display the slip days icon on the Builds page, follow these steps:
1. Add or edit these lines in the file used to import properties into a page object:
```
emxProduct.Build.IconRedDays = 5
emxProduct.Build.IconGreenDays = -2
```
2. Set the value to a whole number to determine the icon displayed:
  - If the actual build date is greater than the planned build date by the number of days set for IconRedDays, it displays the red icon.
  - If the actual build date is less than the planned build date by the number of days set for IconGreenDays, it displays the green icon.
  - For any case in between these numbers, it displays the yellow icon.
When you are finished updating the text file with all properties that you want to modify, use the text file to modify the emxProductLine.properties page object. For more information, see Editing Properties Using MQL.
