Set up an open listing

An open listing shows your scheme publicly to all applicants on the portal’s listings page. Applicants find the scheme there and apply without an invitation. The alternative is a closed invite scheme, where you invite named applicants. Refer to Invite applicants to a closed scheme.

Who this applies to

• Audience: Configurators.
• Access required: The Edit permission on the scheme.
• Assumed knowledge: The scheme exists and you can open its settings. Refer to Set up your scheme.

Steps

1. On the scheme overview page, select the Settings card.
2. Set the scheme Type to Open.
3. Fill in the description fields. Applicants see the scheme name, the excerpt and the owning agency on the listings page.
4. Set the start and end dates and times. The scheme shows on the listings page from the start and is hidden after the end.
5. Add at least one support contact method for applicants, and at least one routing contact for the ApplySG helpdesk.
6. Publish the form version. Refer to Publish a form version.

The fields differ between portals. Refer to Scheme settings.
