Dependent Criteria

Dependent Criteria are one of the two types of search criteria. When used in isolation, Dependent Criteria does not return useful searches. You must therefore include at least one Non-Filter search criterion in addition to the Dependent Criteria you select.

If you attempt to run a search without using any non-filter criteria, a message tells you that you must choose at least one non-filter search option.

This search criterion is a Dependent filter that searches for applicants who have submitted applications since a certain date. To define the search parameters:
