Brief Overview:
Abstraction engine for deployments for when you have multiple projects, and you have to have specific steps chosen to deploy different content sets.
Case: Project 1 through Project 50 all have the same deployment process. Each Project has a few steps that deploy content specific to that Project. A deployer that does not manage the deployment process, manages the deployments of the content. This allows you to abstract the process so that changes can be made without having to alert the deployer of the changes.
Configuration: To launch the applicaiton in GUI mode the following will need to be configured first:
