Lifecycle Editor & Timeline

Lifecycle Editor

The lifecycle editor is part of all Portfolio Element forms in UPM-X and enables admins, editors, and readers (readers only, if the user is set as a Business Owner, IT Owner, or Steward) to set the start date of lifecycle phases.

Open a form of any Portfolio Element and click on the Lifecycles section.
