While your lifecycle statuses and workflows are custom to your organization, some examples are:

  • In Documentation — The model is currently being documented and can be submitted for validation next.
  • In Validation — The model is currently being validated and can be submitted for review and then approval.

For you to be able to transition a model through the approval workflow, you must have completed all the previous required workflow steps.

For example, you cannot submit a validation report for review until the model documentation itself has been submitted.

  1. In the left sidebar, click Inventory.

  2. Select a model or find your model by applying a filter or searching for it.5

    • Click to open up the transition panel for your selected action. This arrow will be followed by the action name.
    • Enter your notes and any other additional inventory fields6 then click Submit.
