Do not promote standard libraries or templates to Production
-
Recommendation: Use standard libraries and templates in Development and QC lifecycles only.
-
Rationale: When you promote a study to the Production lifecycle, you can no longer make destructive changes to it. However, because standards are updated often, there is a reasonable expectation that you might want to make changes that aren't allowed in Production. Maintaining these libraries and templates in QC provides you with the freedom to make those significant changes.
-
Additional information: Standard libraries are not intended to collect Production data, so this recommendation should not limit the functionality of those studies.
