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. |
