These statuses help categorize databases based on their operational phase, facilitating better management and organization.

Steps:

  1. Navigate to the "Setup" tab.
  2. Select the "General Setting" option.
  3. Click the "Lifecycle Status" tab.
  4. Click the "Add Lifecycle Status" button.
  5. Enter the following information:
    • Lifecycle Status: Describe the database environment (e.g., Development, Production)
    • Order: Sorting order for listing lifecycles (ascending)
  6. Click the "Create" button.

Edit Lifecycle Status

Administrators can modify existing lifecycle statuses to update descriptions or reorder them based on changing organizational needs. Editing lifecycle statuses ensures that database environments are accurately represented and easily identifiable during provisioning activities.

Steps:

  1. Navigate to the "Setup" tab.
  2. Select the "General Setting" option.
  3. Click the "Lifecycle Status" tab.
  4. Click the lifecycle link you wish to modify.
  5. Update the information as needed:
    • Lifecycle Status: Modify the description if necessary
    • Order: Adjust sorting order as required
  6. Click the "Apply Changes" button.

Add Classification

Classifications provide a way to categorize databases based on specific attributes such as data sensitivity (e.g., "Confidential," "Public"), application type (e.g., "CRM," "ERP"), or compliance requirements. Administrators can create classifications to ensure databases are appropriately tagged and managed according to their unique characteristics.

Steps:

  1. Navigate to the "Setup" tab.
  2. Select the "General Setting" option.
  3. Click the "Classification" tab.
  4. Click the "Add Classification" button.
  5. Enter the following information:
    • Classification: Describe database classification (e.g., Confidential, Public)
    • Order: Sorting order for listing classifications (ascending)
  6. Click the "Create" button.

Edit Classification

Administrators can modify existing classifications to refine categorization criteria or update classification details. This flexibility allows administrators to adapt classifications to evolving database requirements and organizational standards.

Steps:

  1. Navigate to the "Setup" tab.
  2. Select the "General Setting" option.
  3. Click the "Classification" tab.
  4. Click the classification link you wish to modify.
  5. Update the information as needed:
    • Classification: Modify the description if necessary
    • Order: Adjust sorting order as required
  6. Click the "Apply Changes" button.

Add Announcement Type

Announcements play a crucial role in communicating important information to users. By defining different announcement types, such as "Maintenance," "Outage," or "New Feature," administrators can categorize announcements effectively. Each announcement type can be tailored to specific communication needs, ensuring that users receive relevant and timely updates.

    • Order: Sorting order for listing announcement types (ascending)
  6. Click the "Create" button.

Edit Announcement Type

Administrators can modify announcement types to adjust descriptions or prioritize their display order. Editing announcement types allows for better management of communication priorities and ensures that announcements are effectively categorized for user visibility.

Steps:

  1. Navigate to the "Setup" tab.
  2. Select the "General Setting" option.
  3. Click the "Announcement Type" tab.
  4. Click the announcement type link you wish to modify.
  5. Update the information as needed:
    • Announcement Type: Modify the description if necessary
    • Order: Adjust sorting order as required
  6. Click the "Apply Changes" button.

System Integration

System integration settings enable administrators to configure component settings and URLs to align with the organization's infrastructure environment. This ensures seamless integration of Lifecycle Management with existing systems, applications, or network environments, enhancing operational efficiency and data consistency.
