INITIAL STATE:

A tracking record for the concept to be mapped has been created by Compute Workflow.
No map records exist for this concept and project.

FINAL STATE:

No tracking record exists for this concept and project.
A single map record marked READY_FOR_PUBLICATION exists.

Workflow Status Combinations and Action Enumeration

The table below describes the stagess that exist and actions that can be taken for each stage of the workflow. The columns are:.

Workflow Status Combination: The combinations of map records that exist for a given concept and project. Each combination is listed on a new line. Where multiple records exist for a single combination, they are linked with a plus sign (+), e.g. EDITING_DONE + EDITING_IN_PROGRESS. The current user's record (if any) is marked in bold.
Action: Each row represents a permitted workflow action that can be performed on a particular workflow status combination.
Result: Describes actions performed on specific map records as a result of the action.
Trigger: The user's action in the Mapping Tool user interface resulting in a request to perform an action.

EDITING_DONE			One specialist has completed editing.
