Draft, Ready, Archive, Error and Recurrence plans
A Draft plan is one that has been created, but is not yet activated as ready. It is a plan that is perhaps not yet complete, or one that has been saved in an unready state for another reason. Draft plans can be edited, even if the time and date that it is set to run has passed. See Editing a plan for more details.
A Ready plan is a finished plan that has been assigned to be run at a particular time on a selected date. Ready plans can be edited up until the time and date that they are due to run. See Editing a plan for more details.
An Archive plan is a Ready plan that has been run. While Archive plans can be cloned, they can only be deleted by users with Admin permissions. See Editing a plan for more details.
An Error plan is one that has resulted in an error. For example, a contact list has not been generated, or a campaign has not been created in Contactsend.
A Recurrence plan is one that is set to repeat and end as defined. A Recurrence plan can be included in any of the other categories, if it matches the appropriate conditions.
