Project Status for Lifecycle Base

Lifecycle Base

Administrative workers must make the right decisions many times every day and at every step to ensure the completeness of information. To help employees and companies manage the lifecycle of, for example, items more simply and consistently, STAEDEAN has created Lifecycle Base.
When employees use a Lifecycle application, they remain in control and drive the workflow forward, but also benefit from an automated, structured process that takes care of the more mechanical aspects of their tasks. Users navigate through the business processes as they usually would, but with the support of intelligent functions that check conditions and authorizations, and trigger routine actions such as printing and posting. Lengthy tasks can be automated to run in the background without impacting system performance.

Project Status

Project Status requires Item Lifecycle Status to be installed to be able to access Lifecycle Base. Next install the IEM Project Status app for the page extensions and project specific action handlers.

Note Item Status Management is included in Lifecycle Base as a working example. When using Item Status Management, users will be guided through business processes around Items without interfering with the standard Business Central code. By setting conditions to Lifecycle States and - State Transitions as well as attaching action handlers to the same - States and - State transitions a path through the business process around items is layed out.

Lifecycle Base integrates with the Business Central Workflows, making it possible to start an approval process from every Lifecycle state. Project Status adds a state code field and a change status action to the project list and project card. Through additional settings you can control, for each project state, which project status is set:

  • Planning
  • Quotation
  • Open
  • Completed
