ECR Supporting Document Lifecycle (Sketch)

The ECR Supporting Document lifecycle defines the process for creating and reviewing sketches.

The sketch is processed by moving it through the states in its lifecycle. For example, in the Preliminary state, a new sketch is created and connected to the appropriate ECR object. The Design Engineer then performs whatever CAD work is necessary to generate the new file(s) and checks them into the sketch object. The owner of the sketch then promotes it to the Complete state.

If the sketch is in a route, the route may be set up to prevent the sketch from being promoted until the route is complete.

The ECR Supporting Document lifecycle includes these states:

This page discusses:

Preliminary

When the sketch object is created, it is in the Preliminary state. Files can be checked in, checked out and updated.

Complete

When sketches are final, the object is promoted to the Complete state and the owner is changed to Corporate. No files can be checked in while the sketch is in this state, but files can be checked out.
