It's normal for those who are new to Calibre to want to separate out books that they haven't "finished" working on. It does take work to fetch the metadata from online so the books have covers - check that the publisher, ISBN, series name and series_index are filled in, etc.
One thing that is not easily recognized is that this idea of separating the "in-progress" books from the "finished" often isn't even necessary.
It's easy to do with tags, but then you may find yourself trying to separate the "books-that-have-automatically-fetched-metadata" from the "I've-personally-checked-that-the-metadata-is-correct" books. Then there's the "these-books-have-covers-but-not-publisher-info" group.
Usually all the "in-progress" concept means is that there is an empty field in the metadata, like the cover, comments or publisher. A simple search like "cover:false", "comments:false" or "publisher:false" will find records like that.
