How to preview the whole application form without filling it?

Application questions are divided onto several pages and grouped by topics. If you want to preview all questions without filling in the current page and moving to the next page, click on the Preview button at the bottom of the screen.

Can I save a half-filled application and continue later?

If you need to leave an application unfinished, you can do so without any loss of data. Your answers are saved every time you move between different pages of the application form by clicking Back or Next at the bottom of the screen. You cannot move to the next page without having answered all required questions on the page you are currently working on but can still save the entered answers by clicking on the “Save” button. The "Save" button appears only when you have added/edited data on the current page after your progress was last saved.

Please note that saving answers on an unfinished page was successful only when you see the “Changes saved” notice appear on your screen. If you see an error instead, it means that the data you entered to the unfinished page was not saved. This might happen when you have entered an invalid input to a field for example (e.g. text to a number field). You then need to address the cause of the error and retry saving your changes after that.

You can continue to fill your application by clicking on the application link again, or by continuing the draft through Dealum.

To continue through Dealum application page, please follow these steps:

• Go to https://app.dealum.com/#/home
• Click on your company name
• Applications page is opened
• Under "Drafts" section click on the blue continue button
• You will be taken to the beginning of the application
• As you go through it, you will see your previously saved answers, and can fill previously unanswered questions

How do I make sure my application was successfully submitted?

Both drafts and submitted applications can be found on your Applications page. To go to your Applications page, follow these steps:

• Go to Home page
• Click on chosen company
• Applications page is opened

• If your application is in the "Unfinished section, it means that the application has not been submitted to the deal room
• If your application is in the Submitted section, it means that the application has been submitted to the deal room

What do I have to do after submitting an application?

You don't have to do anything, unless you receive an email request for further actions (sometimes the evaluators may request additional information about your company during the evaluation process, which then should be provided using the link in the email notification).

Can I make changes to my application after I have submitted it?

To update the information in your chosen application, follow these steps:

• Go to Home page
• Click on chosen company
• Applications page is opened
• Find the application you wish to update
• Click on "View application"
• The detailed application view is opened
• Click on "Update information"
• The application editing view is opened
• Make your changes (you will have to go through all the sections)
• Click "Complete" at the end
• Click "Open company" to go back to your Applications page

Why is there no "Update information" button under my application?

The "Update information" button is not available when

1. The deal room has locked your application for changes (application status is "Changes locked")

• This means the deal room has locked your application to any changes.
• If you've been asked to update an application with this status, please contact the deal room and ask them to unlock your application.

2. You have revoked access right from the deal room (application status is "Revoked")

• This means you've taken the right to see updates from the deal room
• Once access is revoked from a deal room, they will no longer see any updates to your company - including both company profile and reporting updates.

How to view an application I've submitted?

There are two options to view the application data that has been submitted to a deal room:

1. Updating the application allows you to go through all the answers the deal room currently has access to and update them where needed.
2. You can always click on "View provided information" in the application details view. This option is available even when the update option is not.

I started an application but decided not to apply. How can I delete the application draft?

If you've decided to not apply, but have already started with the application, you can just delete the draft:

• Go to https://app.dealum.com/#/home
• Click on your company name
• Applications page is opened
• Under "Unfinished" section click on the 3 dots
• Click on "Delete"
• Confirmation window pops up
• Click on "Delete" again
  

How can I submit a new application?

You can submit a new application to a deal room where you have already applied before only when your previous application has been moved to a closed state in that deal room. A closed state is a status that is either Complete or Archived. If your application Status is anything else, you cannot submit another application with the same company.

If you've been asked to fill in a new application and your application status is something other than "Archived" or "Complete", please contact the deal room through the Application discussion and ask them to move your application to an Archive or Complete step.

To submit a new application, please follow the next steps:

• Go back to the organization's application link
• Click on 'Continue' to move forward from the application intro page
• Select your existing company to apply with
• Click on 'Continue'
• Go through the application process and update information if needed
• Submit the new application

Why is there no ‘Submit’ button?

If you do not see a Submit button at the end of all your provided answers, then you are in company profile view and not filling an application. Please enter Dealum from the application link of the organization which you are looking to share your company information with. 

How to keep my Applications view clean?

If your Applications view starts getting crowded and you want to do a cleanup, you can hide applications that are no longer relevant, such as applications deal rooms have archived. That makes keeping an eye on active applications easier.

To hide an application:

• Open your company’s Applications view
• Locate the application you want to hide
• Click on “View application”
• Click on the button with three dots in the top right corner of the view
• Choose “Hide application”

If you want to make hidden applications visible again on your Applications page, click on the three dots in the top right corner of the page and choose “Show hidden”.
