Part Marking Specification Lifecycle

Senior Design Engineers can create and manage part marking specifications. Each part marking object must have an attached part marking specification, and each part marking specification can be attached to only one park marking object.

The Part Marking Specification lifecycle includes these states:

Create

When a part marking specification is created, its name can be specified or can be automatically generated by the system if Autoname is selected. When the part marking specification is in the Create state, files can be checked in or deleted, and new versions of existing files can be created. The specification is automatically attached to the context part marking.

Review

Changes can be made to the part marking specification in the Review state, including changing its name, description, or vault. Files can be checked in or deleted, and new versions of existing files can be created.

In order for the part marking specification to be promoted to the Approved state, at least one file must be checked in.

Approved

In the Approved state, no additional files can be added to the part marking specification. No additional edits are allowed. The part marking specification must be in the Approved state with at least one file checked in before the related part marking can be promoted to the Complete state.

Obsolete

In the Obsolete state, the part marking specification is no longer available for use with a part marking object.
