There are a number of ways in which a build can be triggered for a plan,

• Build Strategy:
  • Code updated — a build can be triggered whenever one or more authors checks-in code.
  • Scheduled build — a build can be scheduled to occur at regular intervals.
  • Manual build — a build can be triggered manually.
  • Initial clean build — a build will be triggered when a new plan is created.
• Build Dependency:
  • Dependency — a build can be triggered whenever a successful build occurs for another plan.

The way in which each build was triggered is listed in the 'Reason' column on the Dashboard.
