To comply with ISO Standards that has been implemented in the PLM platform, the Drawings Lifecycle States have been updated in EDMS after the data was synchronized with the PLM.
ISO 11442:2006 specifies a limited set of Lifecycle States, each with a specific meaning:
| In Preparation |
Default state for new object version. The object is being worked on. |
| In Review |
The object is in ongoing validation process. The object has been prepared and is subject to review, endorsement, checking and approval. |
| Approved |
The object is suitable for release but is not yet officially Released for its intended use. If a newer major revision is Approved, the previous one automatically becomes Replaced. In other words, only one Approved Major Revision is allowed. |
| Released |
The object has been prepared, reviewed, checked and approved. The object is allowed to be used for its intended purpose, meaning that the required item function has been validated. A major revision is Released when the first asset created from this design is accepted. If a newer major revision is Released, the previous one automatically becomes Replaced. In other words, only one Released Major Revision is allowed. |
| Replaced |
The object is still available but has been replaced or superseded by another. |
| Withdrawn |
The object is no longer available as an active object. A withdrawn revision of an object is a revision that must no longer be used for any purpose. The transition to Withdrawn should be done with a specific workflow |
| Approval Rejected |
This lifecycle state, not compliant to the ISO standard, is needed to manage few special cases related to old migrated data. New data can not reach this lifecycle state. |
