Institutions that are on the Common App custom platform receive these files. Like the CommonAppProspect source format for first-year files, this format contains information about applicants who have started but not yet submitted their Transfer Common Application.
⭐ Decide what Person Status you want to assign to your records.
For example, some institutions think of these records as prospects in Slate since these people have added your institution program to their “Add Programs” tab. Others think of these records as Inquiries in Slate. It is your choice.
Remapping the transfer in-progress data file
Select Database on the top navigation bar and select Source Formats.
Find the TransferCommonAppInProgress Source Format and select Edit Mappings to confirm destinations and to set up additional data mappings for this Source Format.
By default, all records will be brought in as Prospects. If you would like to bring in records as Inquiries, then you may map a Static Value.
