5.1 Visit Number and Status

[Visit_Number]

You must assign each visit a unique visit number (base 36 values ranging from 01 - ZZ).

Visit_Status

This field reflects the visit's execution status and cannot be edited. If you are attached to the internet, the status value is read from the proposal database at STScI when the proposal is opened or saved. It is also saved in the proposal in case work is being done off line later on.

Visit_Status can have the following values: pi, implementation, scheduling, completed, failed, withdrawn. Note that visits with a status of "completed" or "failed" cannot be edited in APT. Also, if you attempt to edit visits with a status of "scheduling" or "withdrawn" you will get a pop up warning that you should let your PC know that you are changing that visit.
