Configure Main Settings for a JD FlexApp

Main settings differentiate FlexApps in Unite and should not be changed once an application cycle start date passes. Once the application cycle start date passes, do not edit the academic term and year. If you want to create a FlexApp for the next admissions cycle, copy and add a new FlexApp that you can edit. The following table provides a description of each field you can configure.

Field

Description
Application Description The Application Description text box is optional if you want to communicate information to help candidates validate that they chose the appropriate application. The maximum number of characters for the application description is 150 characters.
Application Link Name The Application Link Name allows you to convert the long URL into a shorter URL that is more user friendly for candidates to see. Do not include the term and year in the name. These automatically appear in the application link name. Make sure the name is distinct so applicants can determine the appropriate application to choose.
Application Year The Application Year indicates the year for which the application applies. Unite automatically adds the year to the application link name so that candidates can select the appropriate academic year for which they want to apply.
Do Not Submit Application The Do Not Submit Application check box allows you to generate a FlexApp that is not posted on LSAC.org for candidates to use. If you select the check box, do not add questions to the application. Because the application is a placeholder, the application is active only for your school to help manage people during the admissions cycle.
Generate TS1 File for Import to Another System The Generate TS1 File for Import to Another System check box allows you to generate a TS-189 .TXT file for importing candidate data into other university systems. If you select the check box, your school receives files daily that you can download from Unite.
Published E-App Interest Level The Published E-App Interest Level list box indicates how your school accepts applications from candidates. There are three options. If you select Accept, candidates have the option to submit electronic or paper applications. If you select Prefer, your school prefers electronic applications but accepts paper ones. If you select Require, your school only accepts electronic applications.
Term The Term list box indicates the academic term for which the application applies. Unite automatically adds the term to the application link name so that candidates can select the term for which they want to apply.
