Work with Application manager links
To help prioritize your work, and depending on the time of year, or tasks you plan to complete, you can view the list of requests in a variety of ways. The Application manager page makes this easy with quick access to the list of student requests filtered to common use-cases.
Access the Application manager from the college application banner on the dashboard, or by clicking Features, then College and selecting Application manager.
Select one of the three cards at the top of the page to focus on documents that are due in the next 7 days, overdue, or expired. Clicking one of these links will open the list of document requests filtered to the status you chose.
If you want to view the entire list of requests, regardless of upcoming due dates, the point in the application process, or the document type, click View all. This will open the list of all applications by student with outstanding requests. From here you can search, or you can apply filters to narrow the list.
To view student requests by their stage in the application process, select a point on the application timeline: Initial, Mid-year, or Final. This will filter the list of document requests to show only the ones relevant to that stage. Click View requests to see the full list of documents for that period, including transcripts, letters of recommendation, and fee waivers, where applicable.
To view student requests by document type, click the number next to the name of the document type. For example, clicking the number next to Letters of recommendation will show only the requests that require a counselor or teacher recommendation letter or evaluation.
