To create a new solution status for checking in solutions, you must first create the new solution status, create an access right to associate with it, and then create a new task definition to associate with the status. The status access right is then assigned to organizations/roles so users can work on the solution when it is in the given status.

For information about creating a new project, refer to the section Project Basics in the ATG Business Control Center User Interface chapter of the ATG Business Control Center User’s Guide.
