GradCAS, EngineeringCAS, WebAdMIT and Outcomes Support 2026
Training sessions provide a space to ask questions, troubleshoot issues, and get guidance on workflows. You may submit questions in advance or simply attend to learn from others’ questions. Submitting ahead of time allows our support staff to review your question, gather relevant resources, and maximize the value of each session.
All office hours will be recorded and are linked below.
Join via Microsoft Teams (all meetings will use the same link)
Submit a question in advance (optional)
Use the Smartsheet link below to submit your question ahead of time so we can route it to the right support staff and come prepared. Please do not include student PII in your submission.

| Wed Jan 14, 2026, 10:00–11:00 AM | Navigating the user menu up to applications. We spent some time customizing the grid and started to get into the additional functionality like exporting from the grid. Creating a Group in a segment – we’ll revisit this next session as there are a lot of questions here. Exporting from the grid | Meeting Recording | 1. Working in Outcomes 2. Navigating an Application 3. Navigating the Application Grid |
| Tue Jan 20, 2026, 9:00–10:00 AM | Navigating Outcomes: Field Dictionary (in settings) Creating Users Roles Application Grid Icon functionality Building Segments – we talked through building segments – including nesting groups. | Meeting Recording | 1. Working With Application Segments 2. Navigating the Applications Grid |
| Wed Jan 28, 2026, 1:00–2:00 PM | Building Segments. 1) Using program properties including Program Name and Term, 2) Using Group to add more logic to a segment, 3) use of appropriate operators (exact vs contains) Sending emails from the App Grid. 1) Using templates and segments. | Meeting Recording | Segment Training |
| Tue Feb 3, 2026, 12:00–1:00 PM | Student View of GradCAS/EngineeringCAS portal. Understanding the four quadrants and what question options exist for programs Using Tags. 1) Tags exist on Contacts and Applications as a property. When adding to the Application Grid, ensure you are not selecting the property listed under “applicant,” 2) Tags vs Application Property – Defining an Application Property is better for complex situations, 3) determine WSU’ use of Tags Application versus Program Properties. Custom property (field) to collect or assign data to an Application. Application properties are able to be utilized on each application. These are data points collected after an application is submitted. For example, do you want to consider this student for an internship, is there scholarship criteria to note. An example you are using already would be the calculated term code. Sometimes these property needs are revealed more as we begin to talk through the Application Review or Management processes. Program Properties. Assigned as the Program Level. So, things like campus or Program start date or program name. These are applicable across the program level. Generally configured as part of the CAS application and populated in Outcomes to mirror that. Application Summary/Side Bar displays. These are customizable views that can display different data based on logic. For example Education could have a set of properties available to view on the summary that would be different from Engineering. To edit summary/side bar – go to settings > Application Review>Application Summary View Current Application Processes are helpful to collect. We need to start a running list of how they could translate to Outcomes – OR – if there is an existing process is best to continue the way it is. For example, is WebAdmit calculating pre-req GPA’s? That might be best to continue in WebAdmit. Another example, who touches defers, moves them through the process. Are there approvals that need to happen? | Meeting Recording | Working With Application Tags – Liaison Managing Application Properties – Liaison |
| Wed Feb 11, 2026, 10:00–11:00 AM | Dashboards & reports functionality review Dashboards are interactive – a user can click on a number in a chart and click through to that list Dashboards are customizable by a user – with the personalize dashboard permission Sample of Defer process – built out in prelaunch Added a defer/change of program phase Showed a Student Portal Stage – with a form for students to indicate one of those changes. The form could trigger an automation like Process Defer or Change Program. Depending on program that application can also be assigned to the person who needs to process the defer (or take action on the application) | Meeting Recording | Working with the Dashboard – Liaison |
