What is the event status?
Symptom

What is the status of my event? What does each event status mean? Why can't I participate in this event?


Resolution

You can see the event status in the top right corner of your screen when inside the event.

StatusDescription
DraftThe event is being edited.
PreviewBuyers can choose to establish a period before the event opens, allowing suppliers to view the content in advance. However, they will not be able to respond until the event reaches open status.
OpenThe event is open for participant responses. Buyers can edit, cancel, pause, or close it.
Review ResponsesThe event has closed for responses and is pending the buyer awarding selections. Buyers can reopen or edit the event.
PausedThe buyer paused the event while it was open, allowing them to make any necessary edits.
CompletedThe event is completed. Buyers can no longer reopen or edit it. The completed state marks the end point of events that have run their course normally.
CanceledBuyers can choose to cancel an event at any point after it has been published. Canceling an event bypasses all the other statuses and immediately terminates it. The canceled state indicates that the buyer has called off the event.

The My Documents content item displays a maximum of 20 events (RFI/RFP/Auction/Survey) and a maximum of 50 projects (Sourcing/Contracts/SPM).
