Feature Comparison

There are several features that are comparable between WebAdMIT and Outcomes, and there are also things that set them apart. Review the chart below to learn more.

Outcomes Feature	Comparable WebAdMIT Feature	Notes
Copy Application	Manual Designation	In some instances of WebAdMIT, Manual Designations can be used to add a program, or designation, to an applicant. The software then treats the applicant as if they applied to their Manual Designation (e.g., in Lists, Searches, etc.). The Copy feature in Outcomes works in a similar way, allowing you to duplicate an application and move it to an additional program. Applicants do not receive a notification that you have done this.
Decisions	Decision Codes	Decisions are categories in which applicants are placed to indicate what decision has been made by the admissions team.
Evaluations	Assignments	Evaluations are review forms that you create and assign to the reviewers of your choice. Like Assignments, this allows you to collect feedback from your reviewers regarding your applicants.
Forms	Configuration Portal Questions Assignment Questions Interview Questions	Forms are questionnaires that you assign to your applicants, users, or contacts to complete. Like questions you create on the Configuration Portal, you build as many forms as you want to gather information directly from your applicants. Unlike Configuration Portal Questions, Forms can be assigned to your applicants at any time throughout the application cycle. You can also use Forms to build questionnaires for reviewers, interviewers, and recommenders.
Phases	Local Statuses	Phases are steps within your application review workflow. Like Local Statuses, you can create as many Phases as you like,helps you keep track of where each applicant stands in your review process.
Custom Properties	Custom Fields	Using properties, you can store, combine, and transform data fields. These properties are attached to Forms, Contact Types, Applicants or Application records.
Roles	Work Groups	Roles are sets of permissions that you establish for different groups of users. Like Work Groups, you can create as many roles as necessary for users working as reviewers, interviewers, assistants, etc.
Segments	Lists	Segments allow you to isolate and work with groups of applicants based on the criteria of your choice. Segments also function as Composite Lists, as they allow you to combine other Segments as desired.
Stages	Application Status	You can use Stages to categorize your applicants and to control what they see or interact with on the applicant side. When configuring each Program, you can create as many Stages as you'd like for applicants to pass through. These differ from WebAdMIT's Application Statuses in that you can create and edit your own Stages.
Tags	Clipboard	Tags allow you to identify applicants that meet the characteristics of your choice. You can create Tags and associate them with applicants as you see fit. Like the Clipboard, this provides a method of grouping an ad-hoc set of applicants that don't necessarily have a matching element you can query for.
