Understanding Event Management

Manage events through a single page. You can view the status of events and the approval workflow associated with an event to see how bidding is progressing, and then process the award of the event.

Once posted, a created event's bidding begins on the specific start time. The event progresses through most of the following statuses:

Open: An event that has been saved but not posted or routed for collaboration.
Collaborating Event: An event that has been routed for internal collaboration.
Pending Post Approval: An event that is awaiting approval.
Pending Scheduled Review: An event that is awaiting an approval process review.

This status occurs when approval workflow is set to scheduled.
Posted: An event that is approved; bidding is ongoing.
Event Completed: An event that has ended but for which the update event status process has not been run yet.
Pending Award: An event that is complete but that has not yet been awarded.
Collaborating Bid Analysis: An event that has been routed for internal collaboration on the received bids.
Awarded: An event that has been awarded and for which the status for all line items is Closed.
Not Awarded: An event that ended without the event being awarded.

The status for all line items was manually set to Closed.
Canceled: An event that was canceled by the event creator.

For RFI events, the event statuses include:

Open: A newly created, not yet approved, event.
Collaborating Event: An event that has been routed for internal collaboration.
Pending Post Approval: An event that is posted for internal approval.
Posted: An approved event with bidding that's ongoing.
Posted/Event Ended: A completed and approved event that has not yet been reviewed.
Pending RFI Review: A completed event that is awaiting review.
Collaborating Bid Analysis: An event that has been routed for bid analysis collaboration.
RFI Reviewed: An event for which RFI responses have been reviewed.
Canceled: An event that was canceled by the event creator.
