The status of a schedule indicates whether the record is
in draft form, is approved for use, or is closed.
The following statuses are used for schedules.
- Draft
- The draft status is the default status for new schedules. A draft
schedule is being developed or reviewed. In draft status, you can
define the schedule details, like calendar information, the start
date for work, and the queries that define the work and required resources.
You can also modify the schedule details, the queries, and the work
in the Gantt view.
- Approved
- When a schedule is in approved status, the schedule details and
the work queries are read-only. You can modify the resource queries,
and you can modify the work records in the Gantt view. You can create
multiple scenarios for an approved schedule, if your schedule allows
it (by using the Scenario Allowed check box).
- Closed
- A schedule can be closed when all the work is complete, or when
it is no longer used. A closed schedule does not show in the list
view. It can be accessed only from the Advanced Search window.
It can be changed back to approved status if necessary.
If more scenarios exists for the schedule, it cannot be changed
to draft status.
