Configuring Lifecycle Mass Approvals

The Lifecycle page for an object can be configured to display tasks and signature requirements for related objects. As installed, the Lifecycle page only shows the tasks and signature requirements for the selected object.

  1. Open the emxSystem.properties file for editing.

  2. Locate these lines: 

    LifecycleMassApproval.<type>.RelatedObjects.Connections=<relationship>
LifecycleMassApproval.<type>.RelatedObjects.ConnectionDirection=
<direction>

    where:


    • <type> is the symbolic name of the object for which you also want to include related objects
    • <relationship> is a comma-separated list of symbolic names of relationships
    • <direction> is one of these options:
      • to
      • from
      • both

  3. Edit the properties for your business needs. For example: 

    LifecycleMassApproval.type_DocumentFamily.RelatedObjects.Connections= relationship_ClassifiedItem
LifecycleMassApproval.type_DocumentFamily.RelatedObjects.ConnectionDirection=to

    This example would allow a user to make sure that all Documents to be included in a Document Family have been approved prior to promoting the Document Family to the Active state, the above properties would show all tasks/signature requirements for the Documents that have been added to the Document Family

  4. If needed, continue editing the emxSystem.properties file. If finished, save the file.

  5. When finished making all properties file edits, restart the application server. If using a J2EE implementation, run the warutil and deploy files as usual.
