From Certn's dashboard you can screen new applicants, organize, view, and search for your existing applicants, perform actions on applications, create and manage background check packages, and more.

Applications page

Once you log into your account you land on the Applications page. This page displays a list of all the applicants you and/or your team has run checks on.

Your list of applicants

You can see the following information about each background check (1):

• the candidate's first and last name,
• the name of the package of checks that was requested,
• the team of the user that requested the check, 
• the application status,
• adjudication status (if enabled), and
• the application "score".

Actions button

Depending on your user permissions, the action button to the right of each application allows several options.

• View or download the background check results application if the check is complete or partial. Applications for which no results have been returned cannot be viewed.
• Upgrade an application to include additional checks that you did not previously select to run on the candidate.
• Share a summary of the most pertinent information in the report via email.

To view the candidates in their different categories, select the category from below the Applications heading (2).
