To view the membership of a waiting list

Parent Previous Next

A waiting list is simply a subset of applicants that have been prioritised through an allocations list by virtue of their eligibility and need. The waiting list interface empowers end users to readily confirm an applicant's relative position on the list and therefore be able to respond efficiently and definitively to incoming queries.


The procedure to view the membership of a waiting list is as follows:

  1. Navigate to Quick Menu > Allocations > Allocation Management > Waiting Lists. The Waiting Lists window is displayed.
  2. Expand an application type from the alphabetically sorted entries and select an associated waiting list, or type the name into the Search Waiting List field. By default the entries are filtered to show Current waiting lists. An alternative filter can be applied using the Select view drop-down field: Expired, Future or All combinations 1.
  3. The List Members summary table reveals all applicants included on the waiting list 1. Certain fields are worthy of special note and are captured in the table below.
  4. Click on Close.


Tip

1 By default, all list members are displayed in order of priority; to aid in identification and analysis, rows can be reordered by clicking on any of the available headings.

Note

1 The Search Waiting List field will match against any element of the waiting list description.
