Configure the portal-wide placement stage, form availability overrides, and banner messages shown to coordinators and students.
Controls which placement stage is active portal-wide — this decides which application forms are open and what students and coordinators can currently submit or edit.
Manually force a placement form open or closed, overriding the Placement Stage above — useful for testing or a one-off exception. Only affects the submission forms themselves, not dashboards or banners.
Show a message at the top of the site — one for everyone, plus separate ones just for students or just for coordinators. Leave a field blank to hide that banner.
The exact date and time Priority Placements closes and Direct Placements opens for the current cycle. Update this each year — if left blank or out of date, the site falls back to the first Monday of March.
