Lifecycle Operations
When an object is selected in a community folder, lifecycle options for the selected object are displayed in an array of icons in the top right corner of the displayed object's Profile Card.
Providing you have the correct permissions, as defined by the folder's owner, you can select one of the lifecycle operations from the displayed menu in accordance with the selected object's status in the product life cycle. By selecting one of these operations, you can move an object from one lifecycle state to another.
When a new object is created, its status is classified as New; its file has not yet been placed in the SmarTeam vault. When you perform a Check In operation on the object its file is placed in the vault and cannot be modified until the object is checked out of the vault. lifecycle management operations can now be applied to this object - after each lifecycle operation, the object's status is changed.
The following table describes lifecycle operations that can be performed on an object in SmarTeam - Community Workspace, the resulting state and a description of the state.
