Mark this checkbox if you want to enable your applicants to add one or more applications directly from the applicant portal.
- Allow changing application categories via the applicant portal
Mark this checkbox if you want to enable applicants to change the categories of their applications directly from the applicant portal.
IMPORTANT: If your program features categories with different prices or free and paid categories, the use of this option might result in overpayment or underpayment.
