• Team managers can monitor the throughput of the team and the performance of individual team members.

Integrating Meercode with Bitrise ⚓

To monitor your Bitrise builds with Meercode:

• An admin on the app’s team must enable the Meercode add-on for your app.
• Once the add-on is enabled, other team members on the app must authorize the add-on on their own account.

Enabling the add-on as an admin ⚓

To enable the add-on for a specific app:

1. Log in to your Bitrise account.
2. On the Dashboard, find the app you need.
3. On the app’s page, go to the Add-ons tab.
4. Next to Meercode, click the Enable add-on button.
   
5. In the pop-up window, you can see what access rights the add-on needs. Click Enable add-on to grant these rights.

Authorizing the add-on as a user ⚓

After an admin enables the Meercode add-on, each user on the app’s team must authorize the add-on on their own account.

1. Log in to your Bitrise account.
2. On the Dashboard, find the app you need.
3. On the app’s page, go to the Add-ons tab.
4. Next to Meercode, click the Go to add-on button.
5. On the next page, you can see what access rights the add-on needs. Click Authorize add-on to grant these rights.

Revoking authorization on Meercode ⚓

Every user on an app’s team can revoke their own token to the Meercode add-on of an app.

1. Go to the Security tab of your personal account.
2. Scroll to Authorized add-ons.

3. Click Revoke to revoke your access token to Meercode.

   

Once you’ve revoked you token, you won’t have access to the add-on any more, unless you re-authorize the add-on.

Disabling Meercode ⚓

Only a Workspace admin can disable the Meercode add-on for an app’s members. Here is how:

1. As an admin, go to the Add-ons tab of the app.
2. Click Disable Add-on next to Meercode.

Once it’s done, nobody can access the add-on any more, unless it is enabled again by an admin.

CI build monitoring on Meercode ⚓

To monitor your builds:

1. Log in to your Meercode account.
2. Open Dashboard Tab from the left menu to see an overview of your running and completed builds.

• On the top of the page, you will see builds still in progress. You can monitor the current duration and estimated completion time.

  

• Below that, completed builds are listed as cards. On every card, you can see the completion status and other information of the build for the last 10 runs.

  

• The Share button on the top-right corner allows you to create public links to view your dashboard. These secret links can be securely shared with your team members.
