Before the people who participate in the release management processes in your organization begin using Serena Release Manager, you can customize the workflow states and transitions in SBM that support your organization’s release control processes.
Serena Release Manager workflow states are defined in the underlying Serena Business Manager system. If your organization uses different states within the release management workflow, you can change the Serena Release Manager workflow accordingly.

What is the Impact?
When you change the workflow, the following impacts are made.
If you add states, you must add owners and transitions.
If you add transitions, you must add any functionality required to support the associated action and change the form if needed to support this.
If you change state names, you may need to change the associated entries in the auxiliary table.
If you change transition names, different actions appear on the related UI for progressing the items through their workflows. You may need to change the related Javascript for the UI shell to display the new name properly.
Ownership relates to SBM projects, so you must add ownership for any new roles for each project and workflow.
How Do You Change It?
Change the workflow and related entities in SBM Composer according to the SBM documentation.
Change the auxiliary table entries in SBM System Administrator according to the SBM documentation.
