Assign a Lifecycle to a Category

The life cycle of a file, folder, or custom object is determined by the category to which it is assigned. When a category is selected in the Configure Categories dialog box, the assigned life cycles are listed on the Lifecycles tab in the Behaviors group.

1. Click Tools  Administration Vault Settings
2. In the Vault Settings dialog box, select the Behaviors tab  Categories.
3. On the Configure Categories dialog box, select a category from the Category Name list, and then click the Lifecycles tab  Assign.
4. In the Assign Category dialog box, do one of the following:
   • Add a lifecycle definition to the category. Select the lifecycle definition from the All Lifecycles Definitions list on the left, and then click Add.
   • Remove a lifecycle definition from the category. Select the lifecycle definition from the Assigned Lifecycle Definitions list and then click Remove.
5. Click OK. The Configure Categories dialog box is then updated.

Note: If a category only has one lifecycle definition assigned to it and it is not <None>, then it becomes the default definition. This lifecycle definition cannot be removed from this category until a new lifecycle definition is assigned as the default.
