Description
This document provides a correction to BIOVIA Workbook 2022 HF11’s “BIOVIA_Workbook_2022_HF11_Install_Guide.pdf” document. We discovered below 2 issues in the previously released install instructions.
- In the Post-Installation section, step#6
To enable the transition of task plan to other states, ensure that the task plan is in the "In-Progress" state and append the following tag to existing life cycle state rules :

The correct setup cannot be “ERROR” only, as customer is allowed to transition task plan with multiple task lifecycle state. Instead of Error you can set it to Information. For example:
</LifeCycleActionMap>
<LifeCycleStateRulesConfiguration>
<LifeCycleStateRules>
<LifeCycleStateRule severity='Information' operator='eq'>
<LifeCycleState key='inProgress'/>
</LifeCycleStateRule>
<LifeCycleStateRule severity='Information' operator='eq'>
<LifeCycleState key='draft'/>
</LifeCycleStateRule>
<LifeCycleStateRule severity='Information' operator='eq'>
<LifeCycleState key='submitted'/>
</LifeCycleStateRule>
<LifeCycleStateRule severity='Information' operator='eq'>
<LifeCycleState key='suspended'/>
</LifeCycleStateRule>
<LifeCycleStateRule severity='Information' operator='eq'>
<LifeCycleState key='assigned'/>
</LifeCycleStateRule>
</LifeCycleStateRules>
</LifeCycleStateRulesConfiguration>
- In the Post installation section step#7
To control the workflow stage where an Experiment transitions when a task plan is reopened, add the following node to the existing WorkflowStatesMap permission configuration:
Note: The Foundation version must be 2022 SP1 HF13 or later for this functionality to work as expected.

This step doesn’t clearly identify the updated Workflow name as per customer workflow in their environment and how to update when you have multiple workflows.
For example, using WorkflowReviewA and WorkflowReviewB with Workflow stages like InReview, InApproval, and InProgress where this action needs to be considered to change taskplan state upon Workbook experiment Transition, then the xml would be similar to:
<WorkflowStatesMap>
<Workflow name=" WorkflowReviewA">
<WorkflowStagesForTaskPlanComplete>
<Stage name="InReview" />
</WorkflowStagesForTaskPlanComplete>
<WorkflowStagesForTaskPlanRelease>
<Stage name="InApproval" />
</WorkflowStagesForTaskPlanRelease>
<WorkflowStageAfterTaskPlanReopen>
<Stage name="InProgress" />
</WorkflowStageAfterTaskPlanReopen>
</Workflow>
<Workflow name=" WorkflowReviewB">
<WorkflowStagesForTaskPlanComplete>
<Stage name="InReview" />
</WorkflowStagesForTaskPlanComplete>
<WorkflowStagesForTaskPlanRelease>
<Stage name="InApproval" />
</WorkflowStagesForTaskPlanRelease>
<WorkflowStageAfterTaskPlanReopen>
<Stage name="InProgress" />
</WorkflowStageAfterTaskPlanReopen>
</Workflow>
</WorkflowStatesMap>
This correction ensures accurate implementation and should be followed for all future configurations. Existing setups may require review and adjustment if they were implemented based on the earlier guidance.
