# How do I schedule a run and what can I still change once it is active?

> Schedule a 360° feedback run and learn what stays editable once it's active. Covers the draft → scheduled → active → completed lifecycle.

Every 360° feedback run goes through four statuses: **Draft → Scheduled → Active → Completed**. The further the run progresses, the less you can change, which protects data integrity for reviewers who are already submitting feedback.

This article covers the **Schedule** tab and what stays editable in each status.

<Note>
  * Only runs in **Draft** can be scheduled.

  * Once a run is **Scheduled** or **Active** it enters *restricted editing mode* — only a few, low-risk settings remain editable.

  * A 360° dashboard is created automatically when a run becomes active.

#### The four statuses

| Status        | What it means                                                  | What is editable                                                      |
| ------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Draft**     | Still being set up. Nothing is sent.                           | Everything.                                                           |
| **Scheduled** | An activation date is set, invitations have not been sent yet. | End date, run name, welcome and goodbye messages.                     |
| **Active**    | Reviewers have been invited and can submit.                    | End date (extend or shorten), run name, welcome and goodbye messages. |
| **Completed** | The end date has passed. The run is closed.                    | Nothing — results remain available in the dashboard.                  |

The current status is always shown next to the run title and on the overview list.

#### Scheduling a run

1. Work through the wizard tabs until every required setting is filled in.

2. Open the **Schedule** tab. You'll see a **Run Summary** with the number

of recipients, total reviewers, and the anonymity thresholds.

3. Set **Activation date and time** — the moment invitations are sent and

the run becomes **Active**.

4. Set **Deactivation date and time** — when the run closes and becomes

**Completed**. This must be after the activation date.

5. Click **Save & Schedule**.

A confirmation dialog tells you the activation date, lets you know that a 360° dashboard has been created automatically, and takes you back to the overview.

### You can only schedule a run if…

* … it has **at least one feedback recipient**. If the list is empty, the Schedule tab shows a blocking message.

* … it has a **questionnaire**. The Schedule tab warns you if no questions have been added yet.

* … **every scale question has a dimension assigned**. Quantitative questions without a dimension prevent scheduling — the tab points you back to the Questions tab to fix this.

#### Restricted editing mode

Once a run is scheduled or active, most tabs become read-only. A yellow banner at the top of the page tells you you're in restricted editing mode. What remains editable:

* **End date.** You can extend or shorten the deactivation date — for example, to give reviewers a few more days to submit.

* **Run name, welcome message, goodbye message.** On the **Details** tab these remain editable.

All other settings — survey type, questions, recipients, reviewers, anonymity, permissions, notifications — are locked at that point. If you need to change them, you must contact Honestly support, or cancel the run and start a new one.

#### After the run completes

When the deactivation date is reached:

* The run status changes to **Completed**.

* Reviewers can no longer submit feedback.

* The 360° dashboard remains available; results are shown according to the anonymity thresholds you configured.

#### Tracking progress during a run

On the run overview you can see, per recipient, how many reviewers have responded — for example `4 / 7 Rater`. This lets you follow participation per recipient without waiting for the run to end, and gives you a basis for sending targeted reminders if needed.
