Entities also support a basic series of states which identify the current status of the entity in the SanteDB data model. Figure 7 illustrates the states of an entity and the valid transitions.
The states of the entity are:
New : The entity instance was just created, and no processing, storage, or business rules have been executed.
Active : The entity has been persisted, any necessary review and/or processing has occurred, and the entity record is active.
Nullified : Indicates that the entity was created in error, the entity never existed.
Obsolete : Indicates that the entity did exist, however it no longer is active.
