The applicant dashboard is the core feature for managing applicants within Thalamus. It can be accessed from the menu bar by selecting “Applicants” link.
You will need to upload Applicant data from ERAS for your dashboard to be fully functional. Visit our Uploading Applicants into Thalamus from ERAS guide for more information.
Applicant Statistics Box: The dashboard contains several bar graphs within the box which help track applicant data:
- Selected = displays number of applicants selected for other functions on the dashboard.
- Self-identification = tracks number of applicants by Sex or Gender (either is acceptable) currently uploaded to your dashboard.
- Tier 1/2/3 and No Tier = displays the total number of applicants in each tier or no tier.
- Scheduling Groups = display the total number of applicants in each scheduling group
- Multiple Groups = applicants who have more than one scheduling group assigned.
- No Group = applicants who have yet to be assigned a scheduling group.
- Program customized groups = Represent the scheduling groups set up by program.
Visit our Creating/Editing your Program Profile guide for information on setting up scheduling groups for your program.
- Interview Status = displays number of applicants who have reached a particular interview status throughout the process including:
- Total applicants = displays number of applicants uploaded.

- Withdrawn = displays number of applicants who have been invited to interview, and then selected to be withdrawn from further consideration.

- Scheduled = displays number of applicants scheduled to interview (either automatically scheduled by the applicant or manually scheduled by the program user) but have yet to attend their interview. Applies to applicants who are scheduled to an event +/- on at least one waitlist.
- Canceled = displays number of applicants who have signed up to interview and then canceled that interview (either automatically canceled by applicant or manually canceled by program user).
