What status can the catalog bindings have?
The status column displays information about the company's bindings.
The Action Required status means that the company is not linked to the catalog. If, in addition to this status, the Confirm status is also displayed, it means that the company has already undergone linking and only needs to be confirmed.
The status Synchronized is set if the main data being sent matches what is displayed in the catalog:
- Name.
- Address.
- Working hours.
- Phone number.
- Open/closed status.
The status Data sent is displayed when a discrepancy is found between the submitted primary data and what is displayed in the catalog. For example, if the working time is specified, it means that the working time that is being sent does not correspond to the working time data in the catalog. If the company data has been sent to the catalog, but has not yet been posted there, then there will be No Discrepancies.
If a request for mass confirmation has been sent for the company, in addition to the status Data sent, the Confirmation requests will be displayed. Clicking on it will open the Unverified companies page, where you can view information about the requests. More details can be found here.
Attention! The information sign will not be displayed in navigators, as we do not receive feedback regarding whether this information has been accepted and published by the source itself. Additionally, we cannot guarantee that such navigators will publish the data we have submitted.
If the company is hidden on Yandex maps, the corresponding status will be displayed on the page. More details about this can be found here.
The Unsupported region status may be displayed. This status is shown when a region has not yet been created on the maps. It is most commonly displayed for the 2GIS (URBI) catalog. More information about which countries and cities are not supported in this service can be found here.
The following statuses may also be displayed in the column for Google catalog only:
-
On Moderation means that the company's data is confirmed and will be published after verification within 3 days.
-
Suspended means that the company was suspended by Google due to failure to meet the catalog requirements. Learn more about it here.
