The file has merged all application forms and .pdf uploads into a single file. All application materials for Test Application 1 will be presented one after the other before any materials are presented for Test Application 2.

The tasks will be displayed in the same order as they are presented in the workflow designer.

The filename can be customized for organization purposes offline. Select one of the available attributes to include in the downloaded application's filename. Using Tom Jenkins's application Test Application 1 as an example:

Application tasks to include

Similarly to the stage limitation option discussed above, administrators also have the ability to limit the tasks that are downloaded. In order for a task to be downloaded the task must be selected.

NOTE: All tasks are selected by default initially. To limit the included tasks you will need to remove selections where appropriate.
