# Managing Applications

The **Applications** tab is the primary workspace for managing submitted applications. It provides search, filtering, grouping, inline actions, and bulk operations.

## Prerequisites

You need cohort admin or higher access. Reviewers are redirected to their interview dashboard instead.

## Viewing Applications

Applications appear in a table with the following columns: **Studio** (applicant name), **Pipeline** (current stage, lock status, interview date, self-assessment status), **Reviews** (completed/assigned count), **Consensus** (reviewer recommendation tallies), **Score** (cumulative percentage), and inline **Actions**.

Click a studio name to open the full application detail page, which shows all answers, review history, and status timeline.

## Searching and Filtering

- **Search** -- Type in the search box to filter by studio name or email.
- **Status** -- Filter by application status (e.g., `new`, `accepted`, `declined`).
- **Stage** -- Filter by current review stage (Application Review, First Round, Second Round).
- **Reviews** -- Filter by review progress: Not Assigned, Not Started, In Progress, or Complete.
- **Province** -- Filter by applicant location. When Ontario is selected, a **GTA only** toggle appears.
- **Hide declined** -- On by default. Toggle to show or hide declined applications.

Active filters appear as removable tags below the filter bar. Click **Clear** to reset all filters. Filter state persists in your browser across sessions.

## Sorting and Grouping

Use the **Sort** dropdown to order applications by name, score, date, pipeline stage, interview date, or consensus (mixed first). Use the **Group by** dropdown to group by status, stage, review progress, or consensus. Groups can be expanded or collapsed individually or all at once.

## Inline Actions

The **Pipeline** column shows lock icons. A ready-to-lock icon appears when the minimum reviewer threshold is met. Click it to open a confirmation modal to lock the stage. Once locked, you can advance or decline the application from the **Actions** column.

## Bulk Operations

Select applications using the checkboxes, then open the **Bulk Actions** dropdown:

- **Change to Declined** -- Decline all selected applications.
- **Reset to New** -- Reset selected applications to `new` status.
- **Lock/Unlock Stages** -- Lock or unlock stages in bulk.
- **Advance to Next Stage** -- Advance locked applications to the next stage.
- **Skip to Stage** -- Jump applications to a specific stage, bypassing intermediate ones.
- **Assign Reviewers** -- Open the reviewer assignment modal for selected applications.

## Orphaned Interviews

If Cal.com bookings could not be matched to an application, an **Orphaned** warning button appears in the filter bar. Click it to open the matching modal and manually associate bookings with applications.

## The Timeline Tab

Org admins and super admins see an additional **Timeline** tab on the cohort page. This shows a per-cohort activity feed including review submissions, status changes, decisions, and other cohort-level events.
