What do the different sections of my program do?

Setup: Set up the basic information about your program, such as application round name, launch date, deadline, time zone, admins, etc.

Showcase: Create a Marketing Page that serves as a basic landing page for your program. You can publish your Marketing page on our APPLY page to promote your program within the YouNoodle network.

Form Builder: This is the section where you will create the application form for your program. It is divided into three tabs: the Application form, the Personal form, the Recommender form, and then Settings. Each form serves a unique purpose:

• Application form: This is used to gather information about the startup/project, such as pitches, sales, target market, etc. To ease your work, we have included a handful of best-practice preset fields in your application form. If you wish to remove the preset fields, please upgrade to the Premium license here: https://younoodle.com/platform

• Personal form: This is used to collect personal and demographic information on the team members, such as name, gender, experience, role, education, etc. All invited team members will complete their individual personal forms tied to the overall application.

• Recommender form: This is used to collect information from recommenders external to the startup/project, but who have been invited by the team leader. The questions in the recommender form will be asked directly to the recommenders and their responses will not be visible to the team leader and the team members. 

Launch: In this section, you can open and close your program manually.

Review the checklist to make sure you have completed all the important steps before you launch your program. To open your application round, click on the “LAUNCH APPLICATION ROUND” button at the bottom of the page. To close the application round, please repeat step 2 and click on the “CLOSE APPLICATION ROUND” button at the end of the page. 

Outreach: Invite specific applicants into your program by adding their email addresses or make your application round an “Invitation Only” round, opened and available only for the invited applicants.

Metrics: Visualize your data with a set of graphs that show the information from the applications created and submitted along with the information collected on the “Dropdown”, “Checkbox” or “Tags” type questions that you entered in your Application Form and Personal Form. 

Applications: View all applications created and submitted, filter them, move them into the correct judging round, message applicants, and export data through this page.
