# Applications (https://docs.xraise.ai/accelerator/applications)



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 [#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](#move-an-application-on-your-program).

| **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.

* A file answer shows **Download file**. Click it to open the file in a new tab.

## Move an application on your program [#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**.

<Callout type="info">
  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.
