Status

There are a number of potential status settings for a cache.

Draft

Use a Draft setting when you are still editing your cache description and details. Your cache will not be available or displayed to any members while the status is set to draft.

Future

In conjunction with a hidden date, you use future to set the status of the cache such that it will not be available until that future date. On or around 00:00:01 on the future date, your cache status will be automatically set to available. Until this occurs your cache will not be available or displayed to any members while the status is set to future. Please note that if you leave the hidden date as "today" or a date in the past, you cache will not be made available until 00:00:01 the NEXT morning.

Unavailable

Use an Unavailable setting when your cache is temporarily unavailable. This may be due to maintenance issues or possible muggling. It indicates to seekers that the cache may be in need of repair or no longer there.

Available

Use available when your cache is ready to be found. If you have previously set your status to future, this status will be automatically updated at 00:00:01 on the hidden date.

Archived

Use archived when the cache is no longer available to be found and you wish to remove it from the the listing service.
