Program Statuses

To the right of each program you’ll see its status:

Draft means the program is still being finalized. Underneath this status will be text specifying the program’s status (ex. “Submitted” or “No Recording Tasks”).

Finalized means the program just needs to be approved before it can be sent out.

Live means the program has been sent out and can be viewed and engaged with.

Published means the program has been sent out but is past its Expiry Date. This means it can no longer be revised or engaged with but it can still be viewed.

Expired means the program has passed its Expiry Date and is no longer viewable.

To the left of each program’s thumbnail, you’ll see a few helpful details:

• Program title and creation date.
