Please note: The 'Pending Application' form is optional and designed for organizations receiving lots of volunteer applications. Its primary purpose is to help screen and manage these applications effectively.
The Pending Applications form can be used either by receiving applications through smart forms or by manually entering applications into the form for screening.
If you'd like to add volunteer applications directly to a volunteer's profile, please refer to our article on: How To Manage Volunteer Profiles
