Calendar Event Statuses

During their lifecycle, calendar events have different statuses. Use this reference to find out which statuses are available and under which circumstances an event receives a specific status.

Statuses for Events with Assignees

Processes, composite tasks, general tasks, review tasks, input tasks and data locking tasks can have the following statuses:

Status Description
Inactive The event definition isn't finished yet. Only owners and viewers can see it, and no notifications are sent.
Open The event is visible to all users. Either the assignee hasn’t opened it yet or the start date has not yet been reached.
In Progress The start date has been reached and the assignee has opened the event. Assignees or reviewers are currently working on it.
In Review This status is only available for input tasks. All assignees submitted or rejected their work and the creator/reviewer is currently checking the numbers. In the Details panel, the input task is displayed as Rejected or Submitted.
On Hold The assignees and the reviewers can’t work on the event. It is blocked due to one of the following reasons:

  • Blocked by a dependency: A review task is on hold as long as the preceding general task hasn't been accomplished, for example.

  • Another user suspended the event, its parent event, or all its child events (if it's a process without assignees).
Partially Accomplished The event is finalized. This status only applies to multi-step events like composite tasks or processes: Some of the steps are accomplished and some are canceled.
Accomplished The assignee successfully finished his or her work.
Canceled The owner discontinued the event (with status Canceled), or the assignee rejected.

This status is also displayed for users who have been removed from the event and therefore can’t see most of the information anymore.
Statuses for Automatic Events

Data action tasks and publications can have the following statuses:

Status Description
Open The automatic event is waiting for the start date.
In Progress The automatic event has been triggered and is currently being executed.
Canceled The owner discontinued the event.
Partially Successful Some steps of the automatic event were executed successfully while others failed.
Successful All steps of the automatic event were executed successfully.
Failed None of the automatic event's steps were executed successfully.
