# Manual execution

## Prerequisites

To execute a pipeline you need to have the following items ready:

* a valid pipeline in `bitbucket-pipeline.yml` 
* a valid `pipeline-forms.yml` 
  * with at least one form in it
    * should have at least one field on it
      * the form must be connected to a pipeline

## Execution

There are 3 main selectors during execution:

### Branch / tag

Branch name & tag name can be searched for:

### Commits

The latest commit is automatically selected.

The committee, commit hash and commit messages can be searched from the selected branch:

### Forms

Every form that is available for the commit can be searched. Forms can be grouped to support variations, which can be greatly useful if used as presets:

After selecting the form, the configured input fields will present:

{% hint style="info" %}
To discover all the possibilities with forms:

* visit [Syntax for the pipeline-forms.yml file](/pipeline-forms/user-guides/user-guide/create-forms/syntax-for-the-pipeline-forms.yml-file.md)&#x20;
* check out the [Showcase an example with every feature used in the form](/pipeline-forms/additional-information/examples/showcase-an-example-with-every-feature-used-in-the-form.md)
  {% endhint %}

Fill in the fields and press **Run Pipeline** for manual execution.

Visit the Pipelines menu in the left sidebar, and check for the pipeline's number to see the results.

{% hint style="success" %}
Every manual execution with Forms will add a record to the Execution logs on the right side.
