Request cycle management

Cycle management helps you:

• Preserve historical information: Archives old applications to protect historical information from being accidentally changed

• Award the right applicants:Make sure only current applicants are present in your system

• Safely update opportunities: Make changes to opportunity questions, criteria, and more without affecting previous applications. For more information, see Update application questions.

• Streamline your system: Help admins find information more quickly

For a guide, see Cycle management checklist.
