Experiment status
You can navigate to the Experiments page by clicking on the Experiments icon from the left tab. Each experiment has an associated status which indicates the current state of the experiment. An experiment can have one of 4 different statuses:
- Draft - The initial state after the experiment is created
- Running - The active state where the experiment is assigning subjects and/or updating the metric event data
- Wrap Up - The state where data is no longer updating, but a decision has not been made yet
- Completed - The state where a decision regarding the experiment has been made
If you go on to the details page for an experiment and hover over the status tag, you can view more details about the status.

Status | Non-Eppo Randomized Experiment | Eppo Randomized Experiment |
---|---|---|
DRAFT | Go to RUNNING if… | Go to RUNNING if… |
RUNNING | Go to WRAP UP if… Go to COMPLETED if… RUNNING to COMPLETED | Go to WRAP UP if… Go to COMPLETED if… RUNNING to COMPLETED Uncommon situation: If the event analysis end date is set to run longer than when assignments are stopped, clicking “Stop Assignment” will not change the experiment status from RUNNING . The experiment will remain in the RUNNING status until the larger of the two end dates have passed. Once that date has passed, the experiment will move into the WRAP UP status. |
WRAP UP | Note: This step is skipped if user clicks “Make Decision” from the RUNNING state Go to COMPLETED if… | Note: This step is skipped if user clicks “Make Decision” from the RUNNING state Go to COMPLETED if… |
