Validation status and lifecycle stages
To install an object in the Quality Control or Production lifecycle stage, you must first promote it to the corresponding validation status.
-
On the
Home page, select the study and the Development lifecycle stage.
-
After you select a study, click the Study Configuration icon
from the navigation bar.
-
Click the tab for the type of object you want to change the status of:
-
Clinical Data Models
-
Transformations
-
Validation Checks
-
-
Select the object and select Modify Validation Status from the Actions drop-down.
Tip:
The object must be checked in and installed.
-
From the Validation Status drop-down list, select the new status.
-
Development: Assigned by default to all new and checked out objects.
-
Quality Control (QC): (Optional, corresponds to UAT in InForm.) For objects that are undergoing formal testing.
-
Production: For objects that are suitable for use in an active study. The system prevents destructive changes to tables and models in a production environment.
-
-
(Optional) Click the
Add icon in the Supporting Documents pane to add a document such as test results, a log file, a requirements document, or a signoff document.
-
Click OK.
Note:
When a transformation is promoted to QC or Production, the system automatically promotes its source and target models to the same lifecycle stage.
-
Install the object in the new lifecycle stage:
-
At the top of the page, change the lifecycle context to the same as the object's new validation status.
-
Select and install the object.
Tip:
In QC and Production you can choose to display either latest installed version or an installable version, if any—a newer version that has been installed in a lower lifecycle and promoted to the current lifecycle but not yet installed in the current lifecycle.
