Before you add a state to the schema, you must add the
state to a state transition model (called the state transition matrix),
and then create a state transition.
Procedure
To add a state to the state transition model:
- In the ClearQuest® Schema
Repository Explorer view, expand the Record Types folder
in your schema and then double-click on a record type. The
record type editor opens.
- Click the States tab to view the
state transition matrix.
- Right click on the matrix and then click New
State.
- In the Add State window, enter a name for the new state
and click OK.
Results
The new state is displayed as a source state and as a destination
state in the row and column headers of the state transition matrix.
What to do next
After you create a state, you must create a state transition
(that is, an action) that defines how this state is used in your state
model. For more information, see
To
create a state transition.
You must also connect the new
state 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. For
more information, see Mapping
state types.
