# Mark a Coalition as Complete

Review all required fields and mark a coalition record as complete.

Before a coalition can be marked as complete, all required fields must be filled in. Review the checklist below to ensure your record is ready.

{% hint style="warning" %}
**NOTE:** You will not be able to mark the coalition as complete until all of the following requirements are met.
{% endhint %}

## Completion Requirements

* **Coalition Members** — At least one member must be added to the coalition.
* **Program Areas** — One or more program areas must be selected.
* **Relationship Depth** — A relationship depth must be set in the evaluation.
* **Meetings & Events** — The **Do you wish to report meetings and events related to this coalition?** question must be answered **Yes** or **No**. This section appears only when your organization has the **Use Meetings & Events Section in Coalitions** setting enabled. See [Organization Settings](/administration/administration/organization-settings.md).
* **Collaborators** — The Collaborators section must be saved. Adding collaborators is optional; saving the section marks it complete.
* **Custom Data** — All required custom data fields, if configured for your organization, must be completed.
