To verify and maintain the quality of assets in the repository,
you might have to review assets and either approve or reject assets.
About this task
Assets can go through a specific lifecycle review cycle, as illustrated
in this figure.
Figure 1. Figure 1. A sample review process
Repository and community administrators define review
processes by defining these aspects of the lifecycle of an asset:
- The amount and names of lifecycle states such as Draft, In
review, or Approved
- The conditions that an asset has to meet to move to a different
state such as a specific amount of Approved votes and a grade of Pass from
any policies
- Which users or user groups are lifecycle managers for assets in
a lifecycle
Lifecycle managers can also modify the review process
of any individual asset by adding or removing users or user groups
as reviewers at any state of the lifecycle.
Approving of an
asset might not automatically result in a change of the state of the
asset: the asset owner or lifecycle manager might have evaluated and
changed the state of the asset manually.
