Changing a Work Area's Usage Intent

Work Areas have a special property called Usage Intent that interacts with the validation status of the Work Area and its contained object instances to enforce certain system behavior. The valid usage intent values are the same as the validation status, except for Retired. They are Development, Quality Control, and Production.

For an explanation of the interaction of usage intent and validation status, see "Work Area Usage Intent and Validation Status" in the Oracle Life Sciences Data Hub Implementation Guide. For a discussion of Work Area usage, see "Work Areas" in Oracle Life Sciences Data Hub Implementation Guide.

When a Work Area is first created, its usage intent is set to Development.

Special privileges are required to modify a Work Area's usage intent.

To modify the usage intent, do the following:

1. From the Actions drop-down list, select Update Usage Intent.

2. Click Go.

3. In the Description field, enter the reason you are making the change.

4. From the Usage Intent drop-down, select the value you want to apply: Development, Quality Control, or Production.

5. Click Apply. The system makes the change and returns you to the Work Area's Properties screen.
