Document Lifecycle:The Heathrow Document Lifecycle
The Heathrow Document Lifecycle
The above diagram represents the document lifecycle, from creation to published or archived.
Note
Archived is not directly part of the life cycle and will be relevant to only some documents.
Documents held within Heathrow can exist in one of the three categories, Work in Progress (WIP), Review or Publish. Within these categories the document must have a specific status and a version to indicate exactly where it is in its lifecycle.
As a document is updated the document version number will increase. The system allows version numbers to increase by either a minor version, e.g. 1.1 to 1.2, or a major version, 1.6 to 2.0, depending on which is most appropriate.
Status
The status of a document will be one of the following:
| Status | Description |
|---|---|
| W1 | Work in Progress |
| R2 | For Review/Approval |
| P0 | Withdrawn |
| P1 | For Implementation |
| P2 | For Information |
| P3 | For External Approval |
| P4 | For Construction |
| P6 | Work May Proceed |
| P7 | For Tender |
| P9 | As Built |
