Adding a Release State

Author-it allows you to add your own customized Release States for objects, to reflect the document release cycle you use. Once you have added a Release State, you can add permissions for that State to Users and/or Groups.

To Add a Release State:

1. Start the Author-it Administrator program, then choose Security > Release States... from the main menu. The Release State Permissions window opens.
2. Point to the name of any existing Release State, then right-click and choose Add State from the pop-up menu. The New State window opens.
3. Type the name of your new Release State, then choose OK.

   

   The window closes and the new State appears in the list. The State's color defaults to black, which you can change if you like.

4. Save your changes by choosing Apply or OK.
