Life Cycle Definitions Tab
This section includes the fields and descriptions for the Life Cycle Definitions tab.
Definition Island
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Life Cycle Definition No. | In this field, you can see the number of the current life cycle definition. |
| Name | In this field, you can see and edit a descriptive name of the current life cycle definition. |
| Internal Relation Name | This field shows the internal name of a Maconomy database relation. This is the relation to which a workflow is attached. Whenever an object is created in this relation, a workflow is initiated as defined in MWL. For instance: If JobHeader is specified as the relation, a workflow will be initialized for every job created in Maconomy.
Note that instance keys must be created for the relation in this field for workflows to take effect. For more information, please see the description of the workspace Database Relations. |
| Active for New Life Cycles | If this field is marked, the current life cycle definition is active. From the moment the life cycle definition is active, every new instance of the relation referenced in the field “Internal Relation Name” above will be part of a workflow. |
| Starting Stage | This field shows the starting stage of the current life cycle definition. For more information about stages, please see the introduction to this workspace. |
| MWL Version | These fields show the major and minor version numbers of the MWL script used for defining the current workflow specification. If the content of the fields is “0 0,” the current workflow was not specified using MWL, but is a pre-Service Pack 5 workflow. |
Access Level Island
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Access Level | In this field, you can specify the name of an access level. You only have access to the current life cycle definition if you have been assigned to the same or a higher level in the workspace User Access Levels. This means that you can only specify life cycle definitions to which you have access. Furthermore, a given user can only see the life cycle definitions to which he or she has access. Please note that this access control model only applies if the standard access control configuration has not been changed in your Maconomy system. If it has, the access to life cycle definitions may depend on other factors. For more information about this, please see the section “Introduction to the Access Control System.”
If no access level is specified, this field has no influence on user access to the current life cycle definition. This field also shows a description of the specified access level. |
