CentraSite Documentation : CentraSite User’s Guide : Using the Asset Catalog : Changing the Lifecycle State of an Asset : Changing the Lifecycle State of Multiple Assets in a Single Operation
Changing the Lifecycle State of Multiple Assets in a Single Operation
You can also change the lifecycle state of multiple assets in a single operation. To do this, proceed as follows:
Important:  
If you have selected several assets where one or more of them are predefined assets such as UDDI Services. You can use the Change Lifecycle State button to switch the lifecycle state of the assets. However, as you are not allowed to change lifecycle state of predefined assets, only assets you have permission for will be changed. The same applies to any other assets for which you do not have the required permission.
To change the lifecycle state of multiple assets in a single operation
1. In CentraSite Control, use either the Browse or the Search feature in the asset catalog to select a list of the assets whose lifecycle state you want to change. If you need information on how to browse or search the asset catalog, see Browsing the Asset Catalog or Searching the Asset Catalog.
2. Mark the checkbox of each asset whose lifecycle state you want to change.
3. In the Actions menu, click Change Lifecycle State, then continue as described above for changing the lifecycle state of a single asset.
For any given lifecycle model, a list of names of users and/or groups who are allowed to move assets to new states is maintained within the definition of the lifecycle model. For each user or group, the permission to move assets to new states can be restricted to a subset of the available states in the model. When the lifecycle model is assigned to an asset, and a state has users or groups defined for it, only a user who is one of the defined users or groups can make the transition of the asset into that state. If no users or groups are defined for a particular state, any user who has Modify permission on the asset can change the lifecycle state for that asset.
Users with the Manage Lifecycle Models permission can define the list of users and groups who are allowed to enter new states in a lifecycle model. For details about permissions, the CentraSite Administrator’s Guide .
