The run lifecycle

Every run carries a status that tells you exactly where it is. The dashboard shows it as a badge on each use case card, and it updates in real time. This page explains each state and the transitions between them.

The states at a glance

A finished run can also be run again, for example after the definition changes, which takes it back through running to a fresh done.

What each state means

State	What it means	What you can do
cloning	Neuralift is copying the definition (and optionally the data) from an existing use case. See Cloning.	Wait a moment; the use case moves to pending automatically when the copy completes.
pending	The use case exists but segmentation hasn’t started yet.	Work with Neuralift on the definition and data preparation.
running	Segmentation is in progress.	Watch progress from the dashboard; you don’t need to keep the page open.
failed	The run hit an error.	Nothing; Neuralift investigates and re-runs it.
done	Segmentation finished and results are ready for private review.	Admins review the segment landscape and actions before anything is shared.
published	Results are visible to every member of the organization.	Explore segments, export, and deliver results.
archived	The use case is retired and no longer appears on the dashboard. Its data is retained.	Contact Neuralift if you need it back. See Archiving & deleting.

Who moves runs between states

Neuralift manages every transition, working with your organization’s admins at each step: creating and cloning use cases, starting and re-running runs, publishing, unpublishing, and archiving. The full breakdown is in Roles & permissions.

Note. Your organization sees a run’s results only once it’s published. In every other state, including done, the results are visible only to Neuralift, who reviews them with you before sharing; admins can still see the use case itself and its inputs throughout. See Publishing.
