Customizing the Predefined Lifecycle Model for Policies
CentraSite provides a lifecycle model for policies, which consists of four states: New, Productive, Suspended and Retired. Predefined policies associated with this lifecycle model activate and deactivate a policy as appropriate when you switch the policy's lifecycle state. The model is also structured in a way that allows CentraSite to automatically deactivate the old version of a policy when you activate a new one.
Because of the complex nature of this lifecycle model and its associated policies, you can make only the following kinds of changes to it:
You can edit the lifecycle model's name, description and permission settings.
You can rename the states in the lifecycle model.
To make these changes, you must create a new version of the lifecycle model and make your modifications to the new version, as described in the CentraSite Administrator’s Guide .
You can also associate additional policies with the states in the lifecycle model. (Do not modify or delete the predefined policies that are associated with this lifecycle model, however.)
Important: | Make only the kinds of customization described above. Do not add states to the model. Do not remove states from the model. Do not modify any of its transitions. |
