Object Lifecycle and Workflows
Object lifecycles are the sequences of states (Draft, In Review, etc.) an object record goes through. A lifecycle can be simple (two states that require users to manually move between them) or very complex (multiple states with different security and workflows that automatically move records from one state to another). In Vault, lifecycles simplify the implementation of business logic that traditionally required custom coding or time-consuming manual setup. A set of business rules applies to each state and defines what happens to object records in that state. Admins define these rules for each lifecycle state and Vault automatically applies them to every object record that enters the state.
