About state transitions
When users work with marketing object instances, they can change the status of an individual instance while they edit it, or change the status of multiple selected instances on the list page for that object type. Users choose from a list of possible transitions: the values that are available depend on the current status of the instance and on the state transitions defined for the marketing object type.
By default, the following transitions are defined:
Transition
From Status
To Status
Start
Not Started
In Progress
Cancel
Not Started
Cancelled
Continue
On Hold
In Progress
Cancel
In Progress
Cancelled
Pause
In Progress
On Hold
Finish
Not Started or In Progress
Completed
Restart
Cancelled
Not Started or In Progress
For example, if a marketing object instance is In Progress, a user can choose to:
Pause it: change its status to On Hold
Finish it: change its status to Completed
Cancel it: change its status to Cancelled
You add or remove transitions when you create a marketing object type.
