Object Lifecycle & Workflows

Object lifecycles are the sequences of states (Draft, In Review, etc.) an object record goes through during its life. A lifecycle can be simple (two states requiring users to manually move between states) or very complex (multiple states with different security and workflows that automatically move records to another state). 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 an object record in each state. Admins define these rules for each lifecycle state and Vault automatically applies them to every object record that enters the state.
