Task states
The labels the dashboard shows for a task and for a submission, and what each label means.
The dashboard shows one label for each task. The label says where the task stands. Each task moves on its own: a task that waits for you does not hold up the other tasks of the submission.
The labels of a task
| Label | What it means |
|---|---|
| Listed | The task was found in your archive and has a digest. It is in the preview, and you have not confirmed yet. |
| Checking | The task is held to the intake standard. |
| Needs from you | The task cannot go on until you supply something. The task screen names what is needed. |
| Scoring | The task met the intake standard. It is being given a difficulty band. |
| Waiting for review | The audit does not start until an engineer acts. |
| Queued | The task waits for a sandbox. |
| Running | The task is being audited. |
| In review | An engineer is looking at the task before its result is published. |
| Clean | The verdict is clean. It holds for the exact files that were audited. |
| Flawed | The verdict is flawed. The finding is published with its proof. |
| Withdrawn | You removed the task, or you cancelled its submission. It is not audited. |
Notes on some labels
Needs from you
"Needs from you" is not a verdict. A task with this label is never counted as clean, and it is never counted as flawed. See a task for how to answer a request.
In review
An engineer is looking at the task before its result is published. You never see a draft.
Checking and Running
When a run fails for a reason on the side of Horizon Audit, the run is tried again. The label does not change, and the failure is never counted against the task.
Clean and Flawed
These two labels are the verdicts. They are final for the task as it was audited. A changed task is sent again under a new collection name, and you withdraw the old task. Read a verdict says what each verdict contains.
The labels of a submission
A submission has no verdict of its own. In the list of submissions, the "Tasks" column shows one of these.
| What you see | What it means |
|---|---|
| Reading your source | The archive is being read. Tasks are being found and given a digest. |
| Needs from you | The archive could not be read, holds no task, holds two tasks with one name, or is over a limit. |
| Cancelled | You cancelled the submission before you confirmed it. None of its tasks is audited. |
| Counts by label | After the preview is ready, the submission shows how many of its tasks have each task label. |
