# Mark a PSE Site Activity as Complete

Review completion requirements and mark a PSE Site Activity as complete in PEARS.

Before marking a PSE Site Activity as complete, verify that all required sections have been filled out. The **Progress** panel on the PSE Site Activity detail page lists every section and marks each one complete or incomplete, and the **Mark as Complete** item at the bottom of the panel stays greyed out until every section above it is complete.

## Completion Requirements

The following sections must be complete before the PSE Site Activity can be marked as complete:

* **General Information** — All required fields including site or organization, name, project name, intervention, unit, program areas, PSE setting, intervention topics, start year, and stages of implementation must be entered.
* **Collaborators** — The Collaborators section has been saved. Clicking **Save and continue** marks it complete, whether or not you added a collaborator.
* **Partnerships** and **Partners** — The section has been saved (each section appears only if your organization turns it on for PSE Site Activities).
* **Custom Data** — Organization-specific custom data is complete (if a custom data survey is attached).
* **Needs, Readiness & Effectiveness** — Indicate whether readiness assessments were performed. If yes, provide assessment details.
* **Strategy** — Rate all contribution roles. Complementary activities, programs, and youth involvement are optional.
* **Changes Adopted** — Select the changes adopted, choose a reach method, and enter reach and demographic data.
* **Individual Effectiveness** — Indicate whether effectiveness was measured. If yes, provide indicator, outcome, and assessment tool details (if the section is enabled for your organization).
* **Recognition & Media Coverage** — Indicate whether recognition or media coverage was received. If yes, provide the details.
* **Sustainability** — Indicate whether a sustainability plan exists. If yes, rate mechanisms and provide stakeholder and policy information.
* **Reflection** — Indicate whether a reflection was completed (if the section is enabled for your organization).

**NOTE:** Any section left unfinished stays marked incomplete in the **Progress** panel. Until every section is complete, the Mark as Complete page tells you to finish entering data in each section and does not show the **Mark as Complete** button.

#### Mark the activity as complete

In the **Progress** panel, click **Mark as Complete**, the last item in the checklist, then click the **Mark as Complete** button on the page that opens to confirm. Once marked as complete, the activity's sections are locked for editing.

**TIP:** Marking an activity as complete signals that the information reported is ready for review and inclusion in organizational impact statements. If changes are needed afterward, click **Mark as Incomplete** in the **Progress** panel to reopen the record for editing.
