## Find applications faster

`Filters` on `All Applications` now also narrows the list by `Funding Category`, `Assessor`, `Status` and
`Submission date`, and each works together with your search.

- Tick one or more categories, or `No funding category` for grants without one. Categories appear if you can also
  open `Grants`.
- Choose an assessor to list only the applications assigned to them, at any stage of the assessment.
- Under `Submission date`, enter a first day, a last day or both. Both days are included, in your organisation's time
  zone.
- The filter button shows how many filters are on. `Clear filters` keeps your search and shows the full list again.

See [The applications list](/administrator/applications/applications-list).

## Follow each grant's progress

- **Counts on a grant's `Applications` tab.** `Started`, `Submitted` and `Complete` sit at the top of the tab.
  `Complete` is the submitted applications as a share of the started ones. The counts include only applications you
  can see, and leave out withdrawn and test applications. While the grant is open, the line under them says when it
  closes, for example `Deadline closes in 3 days`.
- **Filter a grant's applications.** The tab's `Filters` now has `Assessor` and `Submission date` too, working as they
  do on `All Applications`.
- **Grant cards say `Published`.** On your Dashboard, a grant taking applications shows `Published` (it used to say
  `Open`) with its closing date, or `Always open`. A published grant that has not opened yet shows the date it opens,
  for example `Opens 1 Apr 2026`. See
  [Getting started as an administrator](/administrator/getting-started/getting-started-as-an-administrator).
- **The first page's answers can stop a submission.** When an applicant's answers on the first page of an
  application form hide the rest of the form, the application can't be submitted. `Submit` tells the applicant that
  their first-page answers mean it can't be submitted, and the application's page tells you the same. See
  [Applying for a grant](/applicant/applying-for-a-grant).

## More in an application's history

`See Application History` now also lists each message posted in the application's conversation, in time order, as
`Conversation message` with the role of the person who posted it. The message itself stays in the conversation. You
see these lines only if you can view that application's conversation. See
[An application](/administrator/applications/an-application).
