Overview
WebAdMIT offers several search pages for you to quickly search and filter applicants. The Search page is where you can conduct a general search. You can also use search pages customized to features in WebAdMIT (e.g., Search Assignments, Search Interviews, Search Correspondence) or specific to application statuses (e.g., In Progress Applicants, On Hold Applicants, Undelivered Applicants, etc.).
Searching for Applicants
- Using the Menu Bar, open the Applicants panel, then click Search.
- If filters are hidden, click Show Filters to display them.
- Enter your criteria. In some drop-downs, you can search by Any Value and None. Note that the following fields match data on the Applicant Details page:
- Last Name, First Name, CAS ID, and Application Last Changed On fields match data in the Applicant Header.
- State/Province, Email Address, and Preferred Phone Number fields match data in the Contact Information panel, Current Address subpanel.
- Applicant Specific Deadline, Start Term, Application Status, Local Status, Decision Code, Designation Submitted Date, and Designation fields match data in the Designation panel.
- Reviewer matches data in the Assignments panel.
- Click Search to view applicants or Reset Criteria to clear your filters.
