Select Applicants
Applicants can be selected individually, or they can be batch selected.

When grouping applicants, the total number of applicants who can be grouped is 100. This applies to creating one group, two groups, or three groups. For example, if one group is created, there can be no more than 100 applicants in the group. If three groups are created, there can be no more than 100 applicants total in Groups 1, 2, and 3 combined. The Group Selector feature that displays in the upper-right corner of the Manage Applicants page indicates the number of applicants who have been placed into each group.

Changing the Individual or Batch Selection
When individual applicants are selected, the selection can be changed by clicking a different group number in the applicant row. Or, click the group number button again to deselect the applicant for that group.
When applicants are batch selected, the selection for an individual applicant can be changed by clicking a different group number. Or, you can click the batch select button again to deselect all batch selected applicants.
Selecting or changing the batch selection group number in the top row of the Applicants table deselects all applicants in the previously selected groups.
Search Filters
When the search filters are used after grouping selections are made, the grouping selections are preserved when the Search button is clicked and the results in the Applicants table are updated.
Multiple Pages of Applicants
When option 1 is selected in the Number of Selection Buttons drop-down, and there are multiple pages of applicants in the Applicants table, then navigating to the next or previous page does not preserve any applicant selections made on the other pages.
When options 2 or 3 are selected in the Number of Selection Buttons drop-down, and there are multiple pages of applicants, then navigating to the next or previous page preserves any applicant selections made on the other pages.
