Response Details

The response lists all available lifecycle actions (lifecycle_actions__v) that can be initiated on the specified versions of multiple documents or binders.

name__v - The lifecycle action name (consumed by the API). These vary from Vault to Vault and may be text, numeric, or alphanumeric values.
label__v - The lifecycle action label. This is the "User Action" label seen in the UI.
lifecycle_action_type__v - The workflow and stateChange types are the most commonly used and are available in all Vaults. Others may exist.
lifecycle__v - The document or binder lifecycle the action belongs to. For example, general_lifecycle__c.
state__v - The state of the document or binder.
entry_requirements__v - The endpoint to retrieve the entry requirements for each lifecycle action. If no entry requirements exist, the endpoint returns an empty list.

Note that lifecycle actions are not returned for documents or binders which are currently in an active workflow.
