Namespace state management

Release, deprecate, or delete namespaces for your tenant.

Namespace states

The namespaces listed in the Aspect Model Catalog can have 3 different states.

  • DRAFT (gray)

  • RELEASED (green)

  • DEPRECATED (red)

In the Aspect Models Overview and Namespaces Overview the same color pattern applies to easily identify the state.

Filter Aspect Models/Namespaces

You can filter Aspect Models/Namespace lists based on two filtering criteria: their state and their version.

State filtering

You can filter Aspect Models/Namespaces based on their state by clicking a checkbox of the three states in the State drop-down: Released, Draft, and Deprecated.
If you want to display another state, you need to deselect the current checkbox first and then select another.
