Life Cycle Stage Definitions Sub-Tab

This section includes the fields and descriptions for the Life Cycle Stage Definitions sub-tab.

Field	Description
Stage No.	In this field, you can enter a distinctive name or number of a life cycle stage when creating a life cycle stage. The name or number cannot be changed later. This is the name to be used when referring to the life cycle stage in other workspaces or in the Portal. For instance, if the current definition concerns time sheets, you could enter “Submitted” in this field.
Name	In this field, you can enter a descriptive name of the current life cycle stage. The name can be changed later. This is the external name of the life cycle stage and is, for example, viewed in status fields in Portal components. For instance, if the current definition concerns time sheets, you could enter “Time Sheet Submitted” in this field.
Perspective	In this field, you can specify the name of a perspective. This is used when the current life cycle is split into threads parallel processes originating from the same life cycle stage. In the Portal, you can change the .I files of certain components to specify which perspectives of a life cycle should be shown. For instance, when Maconomy performs life cycle transitions automatically, it is not relevant for the users to see all life cycle stages in a portal component. To exclude automatic life cycles from view, you can, for example, give them the name “Automatic” in this field and adjust the .I file of the component to exclude life cycles of this type from view.
