Project gate statuses are values that indicate the progress or completion of a project gate. A project gate is a checkpoint that marks the end of a phase or stage in a project lifecycle. Three of the project gate statuses are:
Open: This status indicates that the project gate is not yet ready for review or approval.
In Review: This status indicates that the project gate is under review or approval by the gate reviewers or approvers.
Closed: This status indicates that the project gate has been reviewed or approved and the project can move to the next phase or stage. Approve and Draft are not project gate statuses, but actions that can be performed on a project gate. Approve is an action that allows a gate approver to approve a project gate and change its status to Closed. Draft is an action that allows a gate owner to create or edit a project gate and change its status to Open. https://docs.oracle.com/en/cloud/saas/project-portfolio-management/20c/oapfm/manage-project-execution.html#OAPFM2356251
