Your stages, your way

Every intake runs its own pipeline. Rename stages, add new ones, reorder them or remove the ones you don't need. Click an applicant to move them forward.

Scroll to follow an applicant from the first enquiry to enrolment.

Use the arrows to reorder a stage and × to remove it. Applicants in a removed stage move to the next one.
