Viewing the Lifecycle Model List

webMethods and Intelligent Business Operations 10.2 | CentraSite User's Guide | Lifecycle Management | Managing Lifecycle Models through CentraSite Control | Viewing the Lifecycle Model List

You can view the list of lifecycle models by using the Lifecycle Models page. You can access this page only if you have the Manage Lifecycle Models permission for a particular organization in CentraSite.

By default, users in the CentraSite Administrator or Organization Administrator role have this permission, although an administrator can grant this permission to other roles.

To view the list of lifecycle models

1. In CentraSite Control, go to Administration > Lifecycles > Models.

A list of defined lifecycle models is displayed in the Lifecycle Models page.

2. To filter the list to see just a subset of the available lifecycle models, type a partial string in the Search field.

CentraSite applies the filter to the Name column. The Search field is a type-ahead field, so as soon as you type any characters, the display is updated to show only those lifecycle models whose name contains the specified characters. The wildcard character % is supported.

If you type...	CentraSite Displays
b	Names that contain b
bar	Names that contain bar
%	All names

The Lifeycle Models page provides the following information about each model:

		The lifecycle model is inactive (cannot be applied to object types).
