Application configurations

The Application Configuration module allows administrators to define how applications are processed within a program. It links application forms, exams, licensing rules, ATT (Authorization to Test) settings, renewal policies, certificates, and temporary permits into a single application workflow.

Application configurations determine candidate eligibility requirements, exam requirements, license issuance criteria, and renewal processes for a specific program.
