Changing Document Maturity Status

This task shows you how to change the maturity status of the document(s). You can access the Change Maturity command from the Edit menu in VPM Navigator and from the Search Results panel. The command is also accessible from the shortcut menu of a document in VPM Navigator and the search results panel. The following scenario accesses the Change Maturity command from the VPM Navigator tree. The Maturity status can be modified even if the document is checked out. Although you can change status on multiple objects at one time, in this example a single object will be used.

  1. Right-click a selected document in VPM Navigator and select Change Maturity... .

    The Change Maturity window appears.



  2. In the Choose Transition box, select the transition and click OK.



    A message appears on the top right corner of the screen indicating that the command completed successfully.

    The Current Status is changed (promoted/demoted) to the next state, and the selected object state is changed accordingly in the VPM Navigator structure tree.



    Note: You can change the Current Status level back to In Work by selecting Reject from the Choose Transition box.
