Processing Applications & Selecting Staff

The event creator and admins can view applications via the link at the top of the page.

The staff list can be sorted either ascending or descending by each field by clicking on the corresponding column heading. The current sort column will have an arrow in the column heading.

A full list of applications can be exported to CSV using the button at the top of the page

Hovering the cursor over an applicant’s name will show both their cover letter and a list of all comments on their application.

There are 5 types of applications:

Pending – applications that haven’t been processed yet

Accepted/Declined (Unpublished) – draft or preliminary staffing assignments which can only be viewed by event admins, they aren’t publicly viewable and applicants don’t have any information about them until published.

When the status of someone’s application is published they receive a notification either on the website or via email depending on their settings. If you have an email to send to people who are accepted/declined have it ready to avoid any time between them finding out results via the notification and hearing from you directly. You can get the email addresses from the “Send Email” box on the event page once the changes are published.

Accepted/Declined – Published accepted/declined staff. Accepted applicants will be added to the event staff list which is publicly visible.

To accept candidates select the type of sponsorship they will receive and click the select button to next to their names, then click “Accept Selected”  at the bottom of the list to move the candidates to Accepted (Unpublished)

To decline candidates click the select button to next to their names, then click “Decline Selected”  at the bottom of the list to move the candidates to Declined (Unpublished)

You can select all applications using “all” at the top of the select column.

When you are happy with your staff list click “Publish All Changes” to make it public. The staff list can still be changed later but what you publish should be very close to the final staff list for the event aside from any last minute additions/withdrawls.
