Managing States and<br />

Transitions<br />

You can associate states with a collection type to<br />

define properties of a collection at certain phases or<br />

points in its life cycle. Transitions are the actions a<br />

user takes to move collections from one state to<br />

another. For example, a page/experiment may have<br />

several states—each of which has different<br />

annotation rules associated with it.<br />

The Collection Type Configuration dialog<br />

appears.<br />

2. Double-click Search Engines to expand the<br />

category.<br />

3. Click the search engine.<br />

Its ProgID's appear to the right.<br />

4. Click the Custom Properties button.<br />

If the search engine has custom properties<br />

associated with it, the properties dialog is displayed.<br />

You may edit the properties at this point. If the<br />

Transition listeners perform certain functions as<br />

the collection moves from one state to another. For<br />

example, a user may be prompted to enter values<br />

for certain fields, or a visual display of the changes<br />

a user makes to a collection may be enabled.<br />
