Every internship has a status. Some you set yourself; others Minto works out from the dates and shows in place of the stored status. Knowing which is which explains why a status sometimes appears to change on its own.

Statuses you set

Statuses Minto works out

These three are never stored. Minto calculates them from the internship’s dates each time the list is shown, and displays them instead of the stored status. Two things follow from this:
  • You can’t set Running, Finished or Expired. They appear on their own once the dates pass, and disappear if you change the dates back.
  • Expired is a prompt, not a state. It means a date passed while the internship was still only requested. Change the status first — an expired internship is frozen, so you can’t fix the dates until you set it back to To Be Rescheduled. See What you can change, and when.
Exact dates are used when the internship has them. Otherwise Minto falls back to the preliminary window, so an internship with only a rough window still becomes Running and Finished at the right time.

​
How statuses relate to placement

Status and placement progress are independent. An internship can be Approved with nobody placed yet, and the list shows both:
  • Assigned — interns who have been given a host firm.
  • Approved — placements the host firm has confirmed.
The Minto internships list showing statuses Approved, Requested and Prepared alongside assigned intern counts.

Status and placement progress are separate. The approved internship is fully assigned; the prepared one is only partly.

​
Filtering by status

On the internships list, select Status to filter.
The filter reads only the arrival and departure dates, never the preliminary window. So an internship showing Running, Finished or Expired because of its preliminary dates won’t be returned by those filters — it comes back under its stored status instead. If a filter seems to be missing internships you can plainly see, this is why. Recording the arrival and departure dates makes the filter agree with the badge.
