Before you add a state to the schema, you must add
the state to the state transition matrix, and then create a state transition.
About this task
To
add a state to a state transition:
Procedure
- Start the Designer.
- In the Workspace, expand the Record Types folder,
select the record type, expand the States and Actions folder,
and double-click State Transition Matrix.
- Click .
- In the Add State window, enter a name for the new
state and click OK.
Results
The Designer adds the new state as a source state and as a destination
state in the row and column headers of the state transition matrix.
What to do next
You must create a state transition (that is, an Action) that defines
how this new state is used in your state model. See
To
create a state transition.
After adding a state to
your schema, you must connect it to at least one other state with an action.
It is a validation error to define a state that cannot be reached by any actions.
If your schema contains packages that use state types, when
you add a state you must map the new state to a state type in your schema.
See Mapping state types.
