New Transition Dialog Box

The New Transition dialog box allows you to create a transition from one state in the Global Stage Lifecycle to another state. It also enables you to specify which roles are allowed to promote items through this transition.

Clicking the Add button opens the New Role Definition Dialog Box, which enables you to create a new role. When you have created the role it is added to the table of roles in this dialog box.

There is the option at the top of the dialog to enable you to continue adding more stages without dismissing the dialog box.
