Organise your application with tabs

Organise your application form with six types of tabs to collect the exact information you need in a streamlined, systematic way, and name your tabs as you see fit.

Start with the basics

The Start here tab gathers key applicant info upfront, ensuring consistency and reducing session timeouts. Once the user saves this tab, the application progress is autosaved, minimising incomplete submissions and streamlining the overall application process.

Simplify documents submission

Collect all required documents, including files, images, and videos, in the Attachments tab. By setting file type and size limits, you can control supporting documents, making it easy to accept and review submissions. 

Capture team insights

Use the Contributors tab to collect information about team members, partners or collaborators, helpful in making decisions on projects where team composition impacts funding.

Determine applicant eligibility

For programs with high volumes of ineligible applications, the Eligibility tab saves time for everyone by automatically diverting ineligible submissions. It can be used as a standalone screener or a gatekeeper for the application.

Automatically gather references

Automate reference collection using the Referee tab, ensuring timely contact with referees and prompt submission of essential details. Collect all necessary references before the deadline, allowing for quicker and more efficient application evaluations.

Optimise application workflow

Create a logical flow that encourages applicants to submit all required information by using one or more General tabs, creating an easy-to-follow structure for both applicants and reviewers. 

Make it personal

The applicant experience is important. Built-in conditional logic, dynamic fields and contextual guidance help your applicants feel supported and inspired—from start to finish.
