Catalog Card Workflow States

A catalog card revision can have several states in Proliance. Each state indicates where the document is in its life cycle in Proliance. When you perform workflow actions on the document, the state of the document changes accordingly.

  State Description

1

Draft

A new catalog card revision is still in progress. It is not yet complete nor ready for activation.

2

Submitted

A new catalog card revision has been submitted for activation, but has not yet been accepted.

3

In Review

A catalog card revision is currently being reviewed, but has not been accepted or rejected.

4

Accepted

The responsible user has accepted the catalog card revision. This revision will be used for construction.

Note: Only one catalog card in any given series can be in the Accepted state. If another card revision in the series is accepted, Proliance automatically moves the previously accepted card to the Canceled state and assigns it a canceled reason of 'Superceded.'

5

Rejected

An accepted revision has been rejected by a user. Once a revision is rejected, you cannot accept or cancel it, but you can create a new revision if you want to continue a particular catalog card series.

6

Canceled

The catalog card revision has been canceled. Either someone manually canceled the revision for whatever reason, or Proliance canceled the revision because a user accepted another revision in the same series.

Proliance may provide more information about the cancellation by its Canceled Reason: 'Obsolete' indicates that someone manually canceled a revision in the Accepted state. 'Superceded' indicates that Proliance canceled the accepted revision because a user has accepted another revision in the same series.

Note: No cancellation reason is shown if the revision being canceled is not in the Accepted state..
