Activating the TNT Event Check Status State Model

A state model is a functionality that allows your Siebel application to constrain the state of an object by prescribing allowed state values and allowed state transitions. For Siebel application objects, state models provide a data-driven method for extending control that depends on the state of the object. For more information about state models, see the chapter on state models in Siebel Applications Administration Guide.

The TNT Event Check Status state model is defined for the Status field on views of the Event Check screen. This state model enables the selectable values of the Status field to be controlled by the current status. For example, if the current Status is Open, the state model can constrain the next selectable Status values to Void or Cancel (by filtering these values from the existing list of statuses).

The TNT Event Check Status state model is inactive by default. You must activate this state model by defining activation and expiration dates that span a current and future time period.

To activate the TNT Event Check Status state model, follow this procedure.
