Workflow for Issue Management is Complete

At this step of the workflow implementation process, workflow for issue management is complete. Now that the workflow is activated (by specifying the workflow condition as Type = defect), and its stages and transitions have been defined, all issues whose Type field is set to defect are subject to the rules defined in this workflow.

For the user, the Issue Edit form for defects will now display the issue’s current stage, and the transitions that can be executed from that stage, as shown here:

Note the ways in which workflow enforces issue processing compliance:

• The issue can be moved through the workflow only by using those transitions that are displayed on the Issue Edit form. a transition’s availability is based on the workflow rules, including the workflow’s current stage and conditions, if any, you have specified for the transition.
• The user cannot manually change the issue’s status. When you create a workflow stage using the Stage Generator, AccuRev automatically makes the field you use read-only.
