Demote Element Status

Changes the status of selected elements to the previous status in the lifecycle.

If a database has been set to Explicit Claim mode, before the status of elements can be edited they must first be claimed.

If an attempt to change the state of an unclaimed element in such a database is made, the attempt will fail. A message is issued explaining why.

The Status window displays element information together with the new status value. The functionality of the Status window is described in the Edit Element Status topic.

Controlled Object Revisioning (COR) is used to control when and if users are alerted to status changes of tagged item(s) by disciplines other than their own. COR enables this to be implemented by deploying an extract hierarchy that allows users to chose when to pick up status changes from other disciplines. Refer to the Administration User Guide for further information.

Note:
As the status control being used is mapped across an extract hierarchy, it is necessary to be logged into the correct maturity level MDB for the team in order to carry out certain status changes. Refer to the Administration User Guide for further information.
