# 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.    |

## 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.
