Create governed bundles

As a practitioner, you can create governed bundles directly within your own projects. After creating a bundle, you can select one or more policies to apply, collect evidence, and attach files and artifacts all in one place. Instead of creating a separate bundle for each policy, you can reuse the same bundle to satisfy multiple governance requirements by stacking policies together. This reduces duplication and simplifies tracking across overlapping compliance needs.

If a selected policy includes gates, attaching the bundle activates those gates for governed actions in the project. For example, this includes deploying apps or creating endpoints. These gates stay active until all required approvals are granted.

Depending on how each policy is written, you can request approvals from either individuals or organizations. If you choose an individual, Domino automatically creates a Task for them. If you select an organization, the organization’s owner is notified to assign the task internally for efficient routing and review.

Step 1: Create a new governed bundle

Create a new bundle:

  1. Open the project on which you want to create a managed bundle.

  2. Go to Governance > Create Bundle.

  3. Enter a Bundle Name.

  4. Choose one or more policies from the drop-down list.

  5. Click Create.

Step 2: Add evidence to an existing bundle

There will be times when you’ll need to add a file, artifact, or job output to an existing governed bundle:

  1. Select the file, artifact, or job output to add to an existing bundle:

    1. If you are in a Domino File System project, click the code link in the right navigation.

    2. If you are in a Git-based project, click the artifact link in the right navigation.

  2. To govern a job’s output, navigate to the job and then go to the Output tab.

  3. Select Add to an existing Bundle.

  4. Choose a bundle from the menu.

  5. Verify that the file was added to the bundle by clicking Attachments.

Attachment that has never been approved

Step 3: Add a model to an existing bundle

To add a model to an existing governed bundle:

  1. Open the Project that contains the artifact you want to add to a managed bundle.

  2. Choose the model from the list of available models.

  3. On the Model Details tab, select Add to Bundles.

  4. Choose Add to an existing Bundle.

  5. Select an Existing Bundle from the menu and click Add.
