Standard Sidebars for Each Program Application:<\/h3>\n

Each program has a set of custom metaboxes\/sidebars that allow program managers to assess and update individual program applications. These sidebars are managed in each form’s settings<\/em> tab. All sidebar elements correspond to form fields in either the primary application<\/em> form or supporting forms (materials uploads, recommendations, etc.)<\/p>\n

These sidebars will need to be set up each summer. Use the following link for details on how to create and managing program sidebars.<\/a>
