Target Design

Set a Target's Design Status

The Design Status for a Target indicates where the Target design is in the stages of the design process. To set the Design Status, click the link in the DESIGN STATUS column for the Target on the Targets page.

A Target’s Design Status can be changed. The current Design Status does not restrict the ability to update the Design Status. For example, if a Target is in Inactive status, it can be moved to Complete status. The ability to add or edit a Target Contact for a Target is not affected by the Target’s Design Status. A Target contact is for documentation purposes only, and can be added or edited on the Targets page’s Vertical View.

The functionality available for Target configuration differs depending on the Design Status.

NOTE: The ability to edit lookup tables for a Target is not affected by the Target’s Design Status.

In Design

When a Target is added, its default Design Status is In Design, which indicates that design is ongoing but is not yet complete.

During the In Design phase, all functionality related to adding and configuring a Target is available including synchronizing with Map and using the SQL autogeneration process.

Design Finished

When a Target is in this Design Status, the design is complete, but the Target has not gone through the migration process. The Target is locked down, and no changes are allowed (as in, the Target cannot be edited or deleted). A Target can only move to this status if it is in sync with Map. When this Target is synced with Map, {Target Rules} are added.

When a Target in this status is selected, the Sync to Map icon is enabled.

Updates to Business Contacts and Developers are allowed.

Autogeneration in Data Services and in SQL is allowed.

Inactive

A Target in this status cannot be edited when:

  • A Target is moved to an Inactive status:
  • The Target is not pushed to Map for mapping and is not available in Transform when the Sync to Map process runs.
  • The Target is no longer visible in Map and Construct.
  • Mappings for the Target that are waiting for approval on the Mapping Approval page are removed from the page

When a Target in this status is selected, the Sync to Map icon is disabled.

NOTE: When a Target is made inactive, it does not display in Transform.

Complete

When a Target is in this status, the design is locked down, and no changes are allowed. A Target can only move to this status if it is in sync with Map. Auto-generation in Data Services and in SQL is not allowed.

NOTE:When a Target in this status is selected, the Sync to Map icon is disabled.

Updates to Business Contacts and Developers are allowed.
