Project lifecycle

Open a site's Project status to choose its next state. An Owner or responsible Admin reviews the change and records a reason.

• Active: work is ongoing. Keeping an inactive-looking site active restarts its inactivity review period.
• Shutdown: work is temporarily paused, such as a financing delay. Set a start and optional end. Reminders pause during the shutdown; activity during it produces an alert showing who acted, what happened, and when. Review that activity or resume work. A scheduled end resumes the site automatically.
• Completed: the project has finished. It appears with completed projects.
• Archived: close a site for another reason while preserving its records.

Review closure before confirming

Finish open shifts first. Review every person, crew, and equipment item. Move people to another site or deliberately leave them unassigned. Other site assignments and organization accounts remain intact.

For equipment, choose the reviewed allocation or storage outcome. Assigning a unit to another site is not proof that it physically moved. Actual location still follows the operator and management verification process.

Closing preserves documents, talks, and the site conversation together in Project history. Site conversations and ordinary archived records become read-only. Organization-wide talks remain available. Serious incidents and equipment defects still require attention; closing a site does not resolve them.

Reopen safely

Reopening can restore changes made by that closure when they are still valid. It does not reverse a later transfer or overwrite a new assignment. Review any reported conflicts and make the remaining assignment changes explicitly. Previous participants retain appropriate access to the closed project's history.

Equipment in storage

Storage, a known site, and an unknown location are distinct from whether equipment is usable. You may name a storage yard. When a stored unit is scanned for inspection, Site Secure tries GPS first. If location cannot identify a site, confirm the site or choose storage. The inspection preserves that location without falsely assigning it to a job site. Operators can propose a physical location; permitted managers verify it.
