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.
