Applications
How to follow the applications to your programs, and how to sort them.
The Applications screen lists the applications that founders sent to the programs that your organization runs. You can read each application and sort it: short list, archive, or move back to review.
Who sees this screen
Every person on your partner team sees Applications in the menu. Only an owner or an admin can move an application. See Move an application on your program.
The filter bar
Status
| Button | Shows |
|---|---|
| All | Every application on your programs. The screen opens on this filter. |
| Short list | The applications that your team moved to the short list. |
| Archived | The applications that your team archived. |
The applications that wait for you have their own list on the Dashboard. The links on the dashboard open this screen with the filter All.
Search by startup
Type the name of a startup. The list updates after you stop typing. Up to 120 characters.
Program
Select one program, or All programs.
Order
- Oldest first: the founder who waited longest is first. This is the default.
- Newest first.
Under the filter bar
The line under the bar shows the number of applications, for example "24 applications". If you changed a filter, it also shows Clear filters. Click it to go back to the default view.
The list shows 20 applications on each page. Use the page buttons at the bottom to see more.
The application row
What each row shows
| Part | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Startup name | The startup that applied. |
| Status tag | The status of the application. The Statuses page tells what each status means. |
| Listing name | The listing that the founder applied to. |
| One-liner and website | When the answers include a one-line description of the startup or a website, the row shows them. Click the website to open it in a new tab. |
| Filed | The date when the founder applied. |
| Waiting | How long the application has waited for a decision. It changes to a warning color after more than 7 days. |
On your own program, click the listing name to open the program. On an archived application, the row also shows the private Note of your team.
For the meaning of each status tag, see Application statuses.
Application answers
Click Application answers to open the answers. Click Hide to close them. The number on the button is the number of answers.
- The first block lists every question on the form, with the count, for example "12 of 14 answered". A question that the founder did not answer shows "Not answered".
- The block Also provided, not part of this form shows other answers that the founder gave, for example answers to a follow-up question.
- A file answer shows Download file. Click it to open the file in a new tab.
Move an application on your program
This is only for an owner or an admin. A member sees the notice "You have read-only access. A partner owner or admin can short list and archive these applications."
The row shows the buttons for the moves that are possible:
| Button | Shows when the application is | What happens |
|---|---|---|
| Short list | Awaiting review or Archived | The application moves to your short list. |
| Archive | Awaiting review or Short listed | A dialog opens. You can add a private note. The application moves to your archive. |
| Move back to review | Short listed or Archived | The application goes back to Awaiting review. |
Every move can be undone. There is no confirmation step, except the note dialog for Archive.
The founder does not see these moves. For the founder, the application stays In review when you short-list it, archive it, or move it back. XRaise sends the founder no email about these moves.
Short-list an application
Click Applications in the menu.
Find the application. Use Search by startup or Program if you need to.
Click Application answers and read the answers.
Click Short list.
The message "Short listed" shows. To see your short list, click the Short list filter.
Archive an application
Find the application on the Applications screen.
Click Archive.
Optional: type a note in Note. Up to 2,000 characters. Only your team sees it.
Click Archive in the dialog.
The message "Archived" shows. The note shows on the row while the application is archived. If you move the application out of the archive, the note is removed.
Undo a move
Click the Short list or Archived filter.
Find the application.
Click Move back to review, or click the other move.
If the message "Couldn't move this application. It changed since you loaded it. Refresh." shows, a teammate moved the application first, or the founder withdrew it. Refresh the page and look at the row again.
Common questions
Can I approve or decline an application to my program? The panel has no approve or decline for program applications. You can short-list it, archive it, or move it back to review.
