Advanced Mode Interface Description
The Advanced Mode Interface consist of the following components:
- Left Side - Hierarchical Tree. The selected targets appear with "+" and checkboxes. By selecting an object in the tree, you can change the operation settings in the right side pane for the targets (parents) and their children. When you select multiple objects it enables you to change the operation for the selected objects.
- Right Side (Tabs Set)
- Buttons
- Menus
- Change Operation - Enables you to perform an operation multiple objects you select
- Actions - Enables you to perform an operation on single selected objects and their branches (children?)
- Propagate Operation - Applies the selected lifecycle operation to the entire branch. It enables the menu item for Document and Item Lifecycle operations.
- Propagate Settings - Applies the selected lifecycle settings (General tab) to the entire branch (children?). It enables the menu item for Document and Item Lifecycle operations. When you perform "Propagate Settings" the settings are propagates to all child objects that have the same operation.
Note: Rules for Warning/Error Notification:
- If "Propagate Settings" is invalid for children in branch (e.g., if "Next State" is invalid for one the children), the settings will not be changed. A "Warning" icon will be added in the left pane and a warning message will appear in the Evaluation Report.
- The Parent's setting will be used for each child. For a Item Lifecycle operation, if "Next State" is invalid for a child, it uses your previous "Next State" selection
- Switch to Latest - Displays the latest revision of the document instead of the the original. The Item lifecycle menu item appears disabled in the list.
