Specifying Initiative Life
To model component development scenarios of your portfolio without impacting the life of components, you will use initiatives and associate an object life to each of these.
The object life is a set of time periods representing the updated calendar of object life cycle states.
For more details on object life, see .Initializing initiative life
To create an object life on an initiative:
Click the icon of the initiative and select Initialize Object Life. • If the object associated with the initiative already has an object life, the object life is duplicated and associated with the initiative.
• If not, the object life creation dialog box appears.
For more details on object life creation, see .To view life of an initiative:
