Colours and tags are not visible to the applicant, so they are purely for your own management and tracking.  ![](https://helpdesk.applicaa.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Nov-22-2023-09-57-22-5410-AM.png?width=688&height=74&name=image-png-Nov-22-2023-09-57-22-5410-AM.png) ![](https://helpdesk.applicaa.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Nov-22-2023-09-58-42-8362-AM.png?width=688&height=259&name=image-png-Nov-22-2023-09-58-42-8362-AM.png) There is a "notes" area on each student's profile, which is only visible to staff users (not to the applicants). Staff would therefore be able to add a note to comment on their suitability for each course, or any other information of note.   ![](https://helpdesk.applicaa.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Nov-22-2023-10-01-18-8534-AM.png?width=688&height=166&name=image-png-Nov-22-2023-10-01-18-8534-AM.png) To filter through and see only the students who have applied for their subjects, Heads of Department may find it useful to visit the [Subject Summary](https://t.sidekickopen22.com/Ctc/ON+23284/cpB8y04/JkM2-6qcW6N1vHY6lZ3kGW7YcKm4459LN7W92wL6k1PlvjBW7qXdr857v7YwN2gtYf7s5FF9V_t9MM87tZcwW2trhr01N0vVtW60l6d95lqrpBW7P4nhN72Qg0DN3sdlSqk6WfMW87lh5y6WFYsgW40cxL198SGwfW6R5bFQ79p74VW87qcNX2WpLBdV7l_jx4_GLhvW7JQ9Vs2hVVpVW3wNZ116NG_frW7DFPJN5xkF-vW7_wVqy68H7_yW5blLhX4s6NQzVqrfLj4-HXtjW1y0J3k7clwf7W1gYqwT6Vmg5RdTnzjM04) at the bottom of the main dashboard. They can click on the name of their subject and will see the list of applicants, whose profiles they can then open and peruse in more detail.  ![](https://helpdesk.applicaa.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Nov-22-2023-10-02-40-8672-AM.png?width=688&height=685&name=image-png-Nov-22-2023-10-02-40-8672-AM.png) Once you have evaluated the applications and completed any sorting/labelling as described above, you may then be in a position to [make offers](https://helpdesk.applicaa.com/how-to-send-offers-1?hsLang=en) to your applicants.    When you are ready to do so, you can create a pre-admission group in your MIS to [transfer the data](https://helpdesk.applicaa.com/how-to-import-student-and-contact-data-into-your-mis-from-admissions?hsLang=en) of your external applicants. Internal applicants' existing profiles in your MIS will be updated with any new data provided by them, so pre-admission profiles are only created for external applicants.  **Note: Bromcom does not support the updating of data for internal, on roll students. Any changes to the data of your existing internal students needs to be updated manually, in Bromcom.**  - [Course 1 - First Impressions](https://helpdesk.applicaa.com/course-1-first-impressions?hsLang=en#main-content) -
