Date Values Explained 

You may see various date values appearing on the pages to Manage Applicants or In Process profiles: 

  • Date Joined: date they first became a member of the organization 
  • Date Applied: date their status changed to Applicant 
  • Date Changed: date their status changed to In Process 

You will only see one date value on the Manage Applicants page when the date joined is the date applied. 

You may see two date values here, but only if a volunteer previously had a relationship with the organization, and was perhaps “Archived” or “Removed”, and then re-applied to the organization.
