# Roster and shift statuses

> A reference for every status you'll see on rosters, individual shifts, doctors, and the Duty Plans list in PlanMyRounds — and what each one means.

This page is a quick reference for the statuses you'll encounter while working with rosters and team profiles.

## Roster statuses

These statuses appear on the **Duty Plans** list and on individual roster pages.

| Status | Colour | What it means |
| - | - | - |
| **Creating** | Amber | The scheduling engine is running. Wait for it to finish before opening the roster. |
| **Draft** | Grey | Generation is complete. The roster is ready for review but not yet visible to the team. |
| **Published** | Blue | The roster is live. All team members can view it. The public share link is active. |
| **Archived** | Grey | The roster has been retired. Still accessible for reference but no longer the active schedule. |
| **Failed** | Red | The engine could not produce a valid schedule. Open the roster to see the reason and [retry with relaxed constraints](/docs/rosters/retrying-a-failed-roster). |

## Doctor statuses

Every doctor profile is either **Active** or **Inactive**.

| Status | What it means |
| - | - |
| **Active** | The doctor can be included in rosters and leave planning. |
| **Inactive** | The doctor is excluded from new roster generation. Their historical data is preserved. |

> [!NOTE]
>
> A doctor becomes **Inactive** automatically when the member account they're linked to is deactivated by an admin.

## Leave statuses

Leave entries have their own set of statuses. See the [Leave management overview](/docs/leave/overview#leave-statuses) for the full list.

## Auto Duty planning cycle stages

Auto Duty follows its own stage sequence — Notify, Availability & Leave, Generate, Roster Review, Published (plus Failed and Cancelled). See [Running a planning cycle](/docs/auto-duty-planning/running-a-planning-cycle#the-5-stages) for what each one means.
