Changing Maturity

You can define the maturity state of an object as it evolves throughout its lifecycle.

Before you begin: Select one or several objects, and click Maturity . Depending on the app, this command might be available from the action bar, a context menu, or you can click the current Maturity State of the object in the object's identity card.
To select a new maturity state, do one of the following:
OptionDescription
You selected one object
  1. In the maturity graph, click the name of the transition, or the transition arrow ( or ) of your choice.
    Note: The maturity graph only indicates the maturity states available for the object.
  2. Optional: If you selected a product structure, to change the maturity state of its children along with the maturity state of the selected product, select the Include Structural Objects option.

    The maturity state you select is applied to the parent product, and to all its children the transition is applicable to.
You selected several objects
  1. From the list of maturity states, select the new maturity state of your choice.

    For each object, an icon indicates if the transition can be applied to the object:

    • Applicable Transition
    • Not Applicable Transition

  2. Optional: To exclude an object and not apply the maturity transition to it, double-click the corresponding Applicable Transition icon.

    The icon changes to (Not Applied Transition) and the object's maturity state is not modified when the transition is applied.

Note: Aggregated representations are automatically added just after their corresponding part, even if they are not opened in the Authoring session. By default, the chosen maturity state also applies to them.

The maturity state of the objects is modified.

If you selected large data and the operation requires a prolonged amount of time to complete, a message appears. The operation continues in the background, and a notification appears in the 3DNotification Center when it is completed, if Collaborative Lifecycle notifications are activated. For more information, see Customizing 3DNotifications.

Note: When you select several objects, if the operation fails for at least one of them (for example, if the object has been modified or locked by someone else after you clicked the command), no transitions are processed.
