The default LifeCycle is New when the record is created.
The Deprecated, End of Life and Obsolete life cycles can be used to discourage users from placing components in a design.
Include the life cycle parameter in your BOM and review with your team or customer which parts in the design have the greatest risks.
Risks:
Parts which have new symbols or footprints are the highest risks parts.
Checked parts are new parts which have been checked against the datasheet, preferably by a second set of eyes.
Released parts are parts that have been released to customers.
That's It.
