Opportunity Status

An opportunity (employment job or service proposal) can have three different statuses—open, closed, or started—based on its start and end dates.

note

Both start and end dates are optional

Open

• The opportunity is open when it is available for applications and has not yet started or ended.
• Example: The start date is in the future or not set, and the end date has not passed (or is not set).

Started

• The opportunity is considered started when the opportunity’s start date has arrived or passed, but the end date has not yet been reached.
• Example: The start date is in the past or today, and the end date is either in the future or not set.

Closed

• The opportunity is closed when it is no longer active. This usually means the end date has passed, regardless of whether a start date was set.
• Example: The end date has passed, or the opportunity has been manually closed, even if there was no start date.

note

• Open: opportunity is available for applications, hasn't started
• Started: opportunity has begun but hasn't ended
• Closed: opportunity is no longer active
