Phase Start Date Enter date and time when phase opens. Ensure any dates you’ve already configured in the cycle information page are already set to a future date.	Insert date and time here
Programs Available Enter the date and time when programs will be visible and can be selected in the Applicant Portal. Only use this phase date if your CAS uses a third-party integration with the NMS or another approved vendor. This will not set your programs to the same start date.	Insert date and time here

Tiles Locked Enter date and time when selected tiles will be locked for editing.	Insert date and time here
Phase End Date Enter a date when the phase closes and set the time to 23:59 since a CAS application always closes at midnight. All programs still active with a deadline date or a deadline rule in the future will be set to closed.	Insert date and time here

Cycle Phase Dates

App Builder now offers a Cycle Dates tab, allowing Liaison users to configure dates for CASs (like PhORCAS) that have multiple phases. This feature is available to all CASs using the mobile UX.

Users can now use several custom configurations:

Configure start and stop dates for third-party integrations within each phase. Currently only the National Matching Service (NMS) for PhORCAS is supported.
Configure Cycle Start, Cycle Close and Submit start date fileds based on date and time.

These enhancements allow you to customize a CAS's configurations to their or a third-party's preferred schedules and time zones.
