Add New Cycles

New cycles can be added to a program at any time. Cycles can be defined by a Start Date and End Date or set to Always open.

Note: At least one cycle must be available in a program before it can be published.

1. Navigate to the Program Setup > Nomination Programs area.

2. Select the ellipsis icon next to the cycle and then Edit program.

3. On the Program Details page, select the Cycles tab.

   

4. Select the Add new cycle button.

5. In the Add New Cycle screen, complete the following information.

   

   1. Provide a name for the cycle.

      Note: This is for internal use only. This will not be shown to applicants.

   2. Specify the time period in which the program will accept applications by choosing the Start date and time and End date and time.

      Warning: The Start and End dates should not overlap with another cycle in the program. If they do, an error message will appear prompting you to update the time frame.

      Tip: If you want to keep the cycle open, select the Always open option instead. This allows you to bypass entering a Start Date and End Date.

6. Save both the new cycle and the program edits.

Tip: If you have already added a cycle to the program and want to create a new one with the same settings, you can create a copy instead by selecting Copy from the item's details.
