If a competition or opportunity has ongoing or rolling application and/or review deadlines (or even no deadline at all), below are some tips for various ways you might indicate this in the platform.


Details Page

Hide the Internal Submission Deadline

  • You must enter an Internal Submission Deadline, but you can hide it from applicants' view. (This is the day/time that the platform will no longer allow submissions). Simply un-check the box next to that date:

Admin view of Dates section. Box to the left of Internal Submission Deadline is un-checked and outlined in red.

Applicants will only see dates administrators choose to show. In this example, that is only the Funding Organization's Deadline.

Adjust Categories or Cycles

Create categories and/or cycles that reflect the nature of the deadline(s). Use this in combination with hiding the Internal Submission Deadline to clarify why no deadline shows.

Example Category is "Rolling" and example Cycle is "Ongoing"

Routing Steps

Use Offset Deadlines

  • You can set review deadlines to be offset by days, weeks, or months from when a previous assignment was completed.
  • This setting allows each application to have the same review period cadence (e.g., 1 week for the first step,
    5 days for the second) without needing to calculate the specific date each time.

Consider Automatic Assignments

  • If the same individual(s) will review all submissions for a particular step, enter their emails and check the "Automatically assign reviews" box.
  • Combining this feature with offset dates allows applications to continue flowing to the correct individuals with minimal administrator intervention.
