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:
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.
