You create state transitions when defining the state model of a
schema. To create a state transition, you define an action of the type CHANGE_STATE
and then select the source states and a destination state for that action.
About this task
To create a state transition:
Procedure
- Start the Designer.
- In the Workspace, open the Actions grid.
Expand the Record Types folder,
select the record type, expand the States and
Actions folder, and double-click Actions.
- Create a new action, selecting CHANGE_STATE as
its type.
To use an existing action, right-click
an existing action of the type CHANGE_STATE and select Action
Properties.
- On the State tab of the Action
Properties window, select one or more source states and a destination state
for the action. Each CHANGE_STATE action must have at least one
source state and a destination state. If none are defined, the Designer reports
an error during validation.
- After creating the state transition, display the
State Transition Matrix to verify that the transitions were applied to the
states. See To display the State Transition
Matrix for a Defect record type.
