Set up Lifecycle Types

Every Lifecycle must be based on a Lifecycle Type. The Lifecycle Type defines which table the Lifecycle connects to through a Lifecycle Instance. You can specify an extra settings table and page when you need extra state settings.

Create Lifecycle types manually as user-defined Lifecycles on a specific table, such as an Item Lifecycle.

Note

When you import a Lifecycle, the type is also imported.
