Resource Lifecycle

The Resource policy controls the lifecycle of rules for products and features. The resource policy has only two states: Preliminary and Release.

Preliminary State

The user can create a new rule of any type only if the feature or product is not in the Release or Obsolete state. If the feature/product is in either of the above states, an error is shown when attempting to create a new rule.

Release State

If a rule is in the Release state, connected Features cannot be deleted.

When the product/feature is demoted from the Release state to the Preliminary state, a trigger will fire, demoting the connected rules to the Preliminary state.
