Status file configuration

The status files have a similar structure and are configured in a similar manner.

The following is defined for each object cycle:

Attribute Possible value(s) Description
name Authoring, Localization, Published, Deleted Workflow cycle
level Always 0 -
type work, localization, published, deleted No longer required; may be used for backwards compatibility.
collection Filepath and folder name Collection (folder) in Content Store
initial true, false, or not given Content is created in the cycle set as initial="true"
lastworkcycle true, false, or not given Defines the cycle as being the last in which the objects are being initially created.

The following is defined for each status in the cycle:

Element/Attribute Possible value(s) Description
name Any value Status name as it will appear to the user
level Any number 0 or higher Used for the dependencies between statuses. An object cannot move to a higher status until all its dependencies are at a status with the same or a higher level number.
type contribute, work, review, approval, end, external, cancelled No longer required; may be used for backwards compatibility.
drop true, false When a child object's status is moved back to a status with a lower level number than its parent object, the parent object changes status automatically to the status in the same cycle with the drop attribute set to true. This should only be applied to one status.
color RGB values separated by semicolons Configures the colors of the pie charts in the Project Management view
lockable object types all, none The permission to lock/open/release an object is overwritten by the access rights file; however if this is set to none, the Edit button will be greyed out for the user.
milestones - Not used
next statuses Any other existing statuses for the same object in the same cycle The object can be moved from the current status to any of these "next" statuses (even if the "next" status is on a lower level).
