Bamboo automatically assign builds to the build queue when they are triggered and no agents are available to run them.

If you want to prioritise one build over another in the build queue, you can manually reorder the build queue. Please note, this will not force your build to run immediately, it will just promote it in the build queue. Your build will still need an agent to become available that has the capabilities to meet its requirements. Similarly, you can demote a build in the build queue if you do not need it to run urgently.

Build Queues and Build Dependencies

Reordering the build queue only affects the priority of the build within the build queue. It does not change any build triggering dependencies for the build.

To reorder the build queue,

  1. Log into Bamboo as an administrator.
  2. Click the 'Current Activity' tab. The 'Build Queue' panel will display in the 'Agents' column on the left (see screenshot).
  3. Click the 'Re-order' link in the 'Build Queue' panel. The panel will refresh displaying arrow icons against each build.
  4. Reorder the build queue as follows:
    • Click the up arrow () to move the build up one place in the build queue.
    • Click the down arrow () to move the build down one place in the build queue.
    • Click the curly up arrow () to move the build to the bottom of the build queue.
    • Click the curly down arrow () to move the build to the bottom of the build queue.
  5. Click the 'Operations' link to return your build queue to its original view.
