Move dependencies during an object's status change

If an object has dependencies, they sometimes need to move along with the object. The Move Dependencies dialog appears only if there are dependencies that must also change status to complete the move.

The Move Dependencies dialog shows which dependencies must change and the changes that they need. The following are common reasons dependencies need to be moved as well:

  • You have some dependencies checked out
  • Dependencies are further behind in their workflow and have a different status

You can use the Move Dependencies dialog to automatically move the object and its dependencies at the same time.

To move dependencies during an object's change in status:

  1. Optional: If you want to see a dependency, click Open in Tab icon beside its title.
    The dependency opens in another tab. You can see it and get more information about it.
  2. In the Move Dependencies dialog, click Continue.
    CCMS Web moves the dependencies as required to complete the move for the initial object.

    For example, CCMS Web checks in any dependencies that you have checked out and/or moves them to the statuses stated on the Move Dependencies dialog.

  3. If CCMS Web had to check in objects, do the following:
    1. Enter a comment to appear in the revision history for them.
    2. Click Check in.
The object moves to the status you want, and any dependencies blocking the move have been checked in and moved as well.
