Description
The type of state stored in the database. For example, you may have multiple states responsible for approval (approved-1, approved-2), but all appear as state type "approved".
The state type determines which lifecycle attributes, if any, should be set at this state.
More about lifecycle attributes:
• When an item moves to a state of type approved, Creo Elements/Direct Model Manager updates the APPROVED_AT and APPROVED_BY lifecycle attributes. If this is the first approval, Creo Elements/Direct Model Manager also sets the ORG_APPROVED_BY and ORG_APPROVED_AT lifecycle attributes.
• When an item moves to a state of type released, Creo Elements/Direct Model Manager updates the RELEASED_AT and RELEASED_BY lifecycle attributes. If this is the first release, Creo Elements/Direct Model Manager also sets the ORG_RELEASED_BY and ORG_RELEASED_AT lifecycle attributes.
• If you create a new revision of Masterdata, Creo Elements/Direct Model Manager clears the APPROVED_AT, APPROVED_BY, RELEASED_AT, and RELEASED_BY lifecycle attributes.
Default state types include:
• work
• approved
• released
• archived
• locked
Example
