The table shows all Stages for chosen lifecycle.
Just above the table is button New Stage and by clicking that you can create new stage for lifecycle. The opened form offers possibility of defining stage details, so you have to input Name (required field), associated statuses from dropdown list (required field) and allowed stages from dropdown list. Allowed stages defines a set of stages from that lifecycle. Entity lifecycle uses associated statuses from that set of stages to define permitted transitions. New/edit stage popup includes as well checkbox As inactive. This field does not refer to active/deactive status stage, it refers the descriptive state of the name stage itself, as a functionality (e.g. if the stage is called “in use”, it means that it is in active function / use, if it is called e.g. “damaged”, then it is not active/ in function, although it physically exists in the inventory).
This table will also be used for editing or deleting existing lifecycle stages and the selection of default stage.
It is important to mention that stage name is unique, so you cannot add more stages with the same name.
Searching, sorting, filtering and paging functions are similar to other lists in NSP, see section General User Interface.
