Campaign Statuses
Depending on the stage a campaign is at, you can change the status to reflect what action is required to take on the campaign and if the campaign is ready to go live.
The following table lists the campaign statuses in Geneva. The campaign status and reason make up the entire status you see in Geneva, with the format Status (Reason). For example, with the status Pending and the reason New, the status selection in Geneva would be Pending (New).
The exact statuses you have access to and can therefore change depend on your permissions in Geneva and the current campaign status.
