About this task

Assets can go through a specific lifecycle review cycle, as illustrated in this figure.

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.
