Views and folders are very different when it comes to removing them. In this lesson, learn what gets tossed and what stays behind when you delete a view compared to deleting a folder.
- [Instructor] So now that we've organized…all of the teams into their own folders,…things are going pretty good.…But before we move on,…I wanted to give some emphasis on what…happens if you delete a folder or a view.…I recreated the jobs I had before…so they're once again visible on the Build tab.…To delete a view you would start by…entering the view,…and I've selected Build for this example,…and on the left hand menu selecting Delete View.…I get a safety warning asking if I…really want to delete this item.…I'll click Yes and indeed the view goes away.…
So now we no longer have access to the view…but the job the view filtered still exists.…We can see them in the All tab,…along with the other jobs and folders…at that level.…For folders it's a different story.…When you delete a folder,…all the contents of the folder are…deleted along with it.…That means any jobs, views, and folders…that a folder contains will also get removed.…So let's demonstrate by opening a folder.…And on the folder page there's a…link for Delete Folder.…

4/17/2018First, learn how to set up Jenkins on Mac, Windows, Linux, or inside a Docker container, and find out how Jenkins plugins are used to extend its functionality. Next, configure your first job step by step, leading up to the requisite "Hello, World" output, and learn to make your jobs more useful and portable with parameters. Then explore job scheduling, and Jenkins's convenient aliases for running jobs at regular intervals. The course wraps up with tips for organizing jobs in folders and views and a brief look into pipelines as code-which enable you to execute a series of jobs in stages.
By the end of the training, you should be able to install Jenkins locally or on a virtual machine, create a Jenkins jobs that can be triggered manually or on a schedule, and install and configure plugins to extend the Jenkins framework.
