Administrators can configure smart check definitions as lifecycle activities in an asset type's assignment. When an asset advances to a lifecycle stage that has a smart check activity configured, the check runs automatically and the result is displayed in the Lifecycle tracker.
Only smart check definitions that are assigned to the current assignment are available for selection.
For information on how stewards view and resolve smart check results, go to About smart check activities.
For complete information on configuring lifecycle activities, go to Configure lifecycle activities for an asset type.

Field Description Mandatory? Smart check definition The smart check definition to use as the lifecycle activity. Only smart check definitions assigned to the current assignment are available for selection. Yes Status The lifecycle stage (status) at which you want the smart check to run. Only statuses in the active (core) phase are available. Yes Required activity Switch on to indicate that this smart check activity is required.
Note Because smart check activities currently run in optional mode, a "Required" smart check will still not block lifecycle stage transitions, regardless of the check result. For more information, go to Optional mode behavior.No - Click Add smart check.
- Click Save at the top of the page to save your changes.
When a new asset of the relevant type is created, the smart check activity is automatically added to the specified lifecycle stage in the Lifecycle tracker.
Optional mode behavior
Smart check activities currently run in optional mode. The following table describes how this affects lifecycle stage transitions.
| Scenario | What happens |
|---|---|
| Smart check passes when a lifecycle transition is triggered. | The transition completes. The smart check result is shown as a success in the Lifecycle tracker. |
| Smart check fails when a lifecycle transition is triggered. | The transition still completes. The smart check result is shown as a warning in the Lifecycle tracker. The transition is not blocked. |
| A smart check is configured but optional mode is disabled for the asset type. | The smart check does not run. The lifecycle transition proceeds normally. |
