Description
si promote promotes a project member to a higher state of development. A state is a textual description, defined by the administrator, used to classify the condition of a revision in a history. If no state is assigned to a revision at check-in, a default value of Exp (for Experimental) is used. See the Windchill RV&S Help Center for details on setting up states.
At particular milestones, project members are ready to move to the next state of their development cycle (for example, from Development to Testing). This is done through states and their promotion.
* 
Promoting members is for historical purposes only. To more effectively control project workflow, PTC recommends using the Windchill RV&S integration.
