FAQ KB0400955
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
The event status can be seen in the top right corner of your screen when you are inside the event.
| Status | Description |
|---|---|
| Preview | Buyers can choose to have a period before the event opens, this allows the supplier to view content ahead of time but they will not be able to respond until the event is in an open status. |
| Open | The event is open for participant responses. Buyers can edit, cancel, pause, or close the event. |
| Review | The event is closed for supplier responses while the buyer reviews the submissions. It is recommend for suppliers to stay connected to the event while in Review as the buyer may choose to reopen all or some portion of the event. |
| Pending Selection | The event has closed for responses and is pending the buyer awarding selections. Buyers can reopen or edit the event. |
| Paused | The event has been paused by the buyer during an open state. This allows the buyer to make any edits if necessary. |
| Completed | The event is completed. Buyers can no longer reopen or edit the event. The completed state is the end point of events that run their course normally. |
| Cancelled | At any point after publishing an event, buyers can choose to cancel it. Canceling an event bypasses all the other statuses and immediately ends the event. The cancelled state indicates that the buyer aborted the event. |

The event status can only be changed by the buyer.
In the Guided Sourcing user interface for buyers, the Review state is called Reviewing Responses and the Pending Selection state is called Review Responses. Suppliers will continue to see the standard event states listed above in their interface.
