You can change the lifecycle of a simulation process.
A simulation process and its contents are promoted through a sequence of states as the process moves through its lifecycle. The state of a simulation process determines which people can access the process and the actions they can perform.
For example, a simulation process might start its lifecycle in the In Process state and move into the Complete state when it is ready to be used by others.
