Define release statuses

In this IMG activity, you define one or more alternative release statuses for a signature strategy. For each release status, you define a combination of individual signatures required to complete the signature process.

A signature process can only be completed if all signatures of a release status have been executed.
If you do not define a release status for a signature strategy, all the individual signatures defined in a signature strategy must be executed in the signature process.

You can define release statuses by marking the required signature combination in the overview of allowed signature combinations.
Once you have done this, you can also list the individual signatures for each release status. However, you cannot change the data in the individual display.

Example

The following signature sequence has been defined in a signature strategy :

	Predecessor signatures
Signat. to be executed	S1	S2	S3	S4
S1
S2	X
S3	X
S4	X		X

You choose the following release statuses in the table:

Indiv.signatures required for release
S1	S2	S3	S4
X	X	X
X		X	X

Thus, the signature strategy can be completed with S2 and S3, or with S4.
