When an Application Status is set to 'not visible', it doesn’t affect candidates currently assigned to that status. Instead, it prevents users from assigning any candidates to that status in the future. This can be useful for phasing out outdated statuses without disrupting reporting data.
4. If you are certain that an application status will not be needed in the future and can be permanently deleted; click Delete Status in the top right.
When an Application Status is deleted, it doesn’t affect candidates currently assigned to that status. Instead, it prevents users from assigning any candidates to that status in the future.
