Assign or Change a Position Status
Administrators and Committee Managers can update a position's status in Faculty Search (FS) to reflect its state in the search process, such as Accepting Applications or Under Review. These statuses control permissions for applicants and committee members, including who can view the status, whether applicants can edit submissions, and if evaluators can review applications. Position statuses must first be created on the Administration page and assigned by Administrators or Committee Managers.
The position status never impacts the applicant's ability to apply. It only impacts what they can do after they have applied. To prevent future applicants from applying you will have to close the position.
Change Position Status
- Navigate to the Positions page and click the hyperlinked name of the desired position to edit. Then Select the new status name from the Change dropdown under the Status section at the top of the page.
- The Change Status window will display where you can select to send a message to all applicants with this change and then Confirm the decision.
- When a new position status is selected, you will see the associated permissions with that status. To change these permissions you will have to edit the desired status on the Administration page.
