How can a source be created in Avaloq ICE?

In Avaloq Integrated Customization Environment (ICE), creating a source typically involves interacting directly with the changes in a way that allows developers to manage version control and customization efficiently. When using a context action on a change, you have specific options available that revolve around the particular context in which that change exists. This enables you to create a source that connects to the modifications you have made or are about to make within the system.

The context action is pivotal as it allows you to directly manage the active changes you're working on, thereby ensuring they are appropriately transitioned into a defined source. This interaction not only streamlines the development process but also helps maintain a clear and organized system for versioning and collaboration among different team members involved in the development.

Other methods such as using administrative permissions or checking out from a repository contribute to broader management aspects of the system but do not directly pertain to the creation of a source itself. Defining a new release is also part of the lifecycle management of software development within Avaloq ICE, yet it is broader and aligns more with the deployment aspect rather than the immediate creation of a source from changes being developed. Hence, utilizing a context action on a change is the most accurate method for creating a source within Avaloq ICE.
