This document walks through the card colors you will see on the Candidate Pipeline report and their meaning.

![This report shows the Candidate Pipeline for the Corporate Usability Analyst role. ](https://api.archbee.com/api/optimize/0p8tQ--ZZOxRtkVp6Qr-e/dhou7fea-VEDfR1FSKkXj_screenshot2022-12-23at72359am.png)

The below table shows the Candidate Pipeline for the Corporate Usability Analyst role.

:::hint{type="info"}
When visualizing the Candidate Pipeline via the card (kanban) view, the colors on each card are based on either time or activity.
:::

If there are structured activities (interviews, take home assignments, etc) in the active stage, the card colors mean the following:

| **Card Color** | **Activity**                                                                               | **Examples**                                                                             |
| -------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Green**      | Up to date                                                                                 | Scheduled                                                                                |
| **Yellow**     | Waiting on candidate to submit availability, accept offer, interview needs scheduling, etc | Needs Scheduling, Booking Link Sent, Submitted Availability, Waiting on Offer Acceptance |
| **Red**        | Hiring team needs to take action                                                           | Needs Decision, Waiting on Feedback                                                      |

If there are no structured activities for that specific stage, the card will say In Stage Since, and the card colors mean in the following:

| **Card Color** | **Time**          |
| -------------- | ----------------- |
| **Green**      | In stage \<2 days |
| **Yellow**     | In stage 2-5 days |
| **Red**        | In stage 5+ days  |
