ApplyEasy: Reviewing application status history using filters in the inbox

This article explains how to use the Status filter in the ApplyEasy inbox to review an application’s current and historical statuses. Use this to gain clearer visibility across the full application lifecycle.

Updated over 3 weeks ago

What’s changed

The Status filter has been enhanced to support historical status review and flexible matching logic.

Previously

Now

Filters matched current status only

Filter by current status or past and current statuses

Multiple statuses used OR logic only

Choose OR (default) or AND logic

Limited visibility of application history

Filter across the full application lifecycle


When to use historical status filtering

Use historical status filters to:

  • Audit workflow progression

  • Identify bottlenecks

  • Review how applications moved through each stage


Using the Status filter

Filter by current status only (default)

When Past and Current is not enabled, ApplyEasy filters applications based on their current status only.

Example

  • Select E‑Signature Requested

  • Results show only applications currently waiting for an e‑signature

Filter by past and current statuses

When Past and Current is enabled, ApplyEasy returns applications that:

  • Are currently in the selected status, or

  • Have been in the selected status at any point in their lifecycle

Example: Find all applications that ever required a signature

  • Enable Past and Current

  • Select E‑Signature Requested

Results include:

  • Applications currently waiting for signatures

  • Applications where an e‑signature was requested in the past, even if now approved or rejected


Using AND logic with status filters

By default, selected statuses use OR logic. You can change this to AND logic using the All checkbox.

When AND logic applies

AND logic is applied when:

  • Past and Current is enabled

  • All is checked

  • Multiple statuses are selected

ApplyEasy will return applications that have been in all selected statuses at some point in their lifecycle.

Example: Validate lifecycle sequence

Selection

  • Past and Current: Enabled

  • Statuses:

    • E‑Signature Requested

    • E‑Signature Received

  • All: Checked

Results

  • Applications that requested an e‑signature and

  • Later received a completed e‑signature

Applications that never progressed through all selected stages are excluded.

Use this to:

  • Confirm full workflow completion

  • Validate process compliance

  • Ensure mandatory stages were completed


Important notes

  • Past and Current is available only for the Status filter

  • OR logic remains the default behaviour

  • AND logic is controlled using the All checkbox

  • Status filtering applies only to dynamic workflow statuses


FAQs

Does this change historical data?

No. This feature only changes how filters are applied in the inbox.

Does enabling Past and Current affect performance?

No. The system is optimised to query application lifecycle history efficiently.

Can I combine this with other filters?

Yes. Filters can be combined freely. AND/OR logic applies within each filter category.
