How can you associate a workflow with an artifact type in RDNG 6?

Hi All,

I am trying to use the default workflow which was recently introduced in RDNG to define the state that
artifacts of a specified type can be in and the actions that users can select to move these
artifacts from one state to another.

I am unable to associate a workflow with an artifact type. I can't find the Workflow field when I select any artifact. I am performing following steps: 

1. Click Administration > Manage Project Properties.
2. In the Artifact Type tab, click an artifact type.
3. Select a workflow in the Workflow field.

I have all the required permissions to perform this task. Am I missing any step here? Do I need to follow some additional steps for this? I'd really appreciate your help in this regard.

Thanks

Make sure that your RM instance and the project fulfill these requirements.
Note: The default workflow is available only in new projects in new installations of Rational® DOORS® Next Generation. Workflows are not currently available if you upgrade the RM application from previous versions.
I did a quick test with RDNG 6.0.2 RC1, and it's quite straightforward - no problems observed.

What "workflow" are you referring to? I'm not aware of any workflows that you can apply to the requirement artifacts. There is a new feature called "change set workflow" introduced in RDNG 6.0.1, but that's a completely different concept.

They have introduced Requirements Workflow feature in RDNG 6.0.2, through which you can define the state that artifacts of a specified type can be in and the actions that users can select to move these artifacts from one state to another.
