Review Applicants and Tasks
How a mentor reviews applicants, manages tasks and records notes on a program they mentor.
Last updated
A program's detail page is where a mentor does their day-to-day work: reading applicants, setting and reviewing tasks, and recording notes for the other reviewers.
Before you begin
- You must be an approved mentor on the program. See Your Mentor Programs.
- Open the program from My Programs.
The tabs
| Tab | What it holds |
|---|---|
| Applicants | People who applied, with a status filter, their other active applications and notes |
| Mentees | The mentees accepted onto the program, with task progress — where tasks are created |
| Tasks | Submitted tasks waiting on your review |
Review an applicant
- Open app.lfx.dev/mentorship/mentor/programs and select a program.
- On Applicants, filter with the status pills — Pending, Accepted, Declined or All.
- Select View Tasks on the row to expand their prerequisite tasks and download anything they submitted.
- Select Add note, or the existing note on the row, to record context for the other reviewers. See Leave a Reviewer Note.
The applicant's row and name do not open a profile page, and there is no cover letter to read — what you review is their tasks and the notes on the row. The Other Active Applications column shows the other programs they have live applications on.
Create a task
Tasks are created from the Mentees tab, not the Tasks tab, and only for an accepted mentee:
- One mentee — use the + on their row. The task is assigned to them, with no assignee to choose.
- Several mentees — use Create Group Task above the table, then pick the assignees, with Select all and Clear to hand.
To change a task, expand the mentee's row with View Tasks and use Edit Task. A task's assignee cannot be changed after it is created.
Review a submitted task
On the Tasks tab, each submitted task offers Approve or Request Changes. This tab is for reviewing only — you cannot create or edit a task here.
Approving a task locks it for the mentee: from then on only a mentor can change it.
Applicant task status
| Status | What it means |
|---|---|
| Pending | Not started |
| In Progress | The mentee is working on it |
| Submitted | Handed in, waiting on your review |
| Completed | You approved it; the mentee can no longer change it |
Troubleshooting
| What you see | What it means |
|---|---|
| "You can no longer edit tasks on this program." | You are no longer an approved mentor on it. Refresh the page. |
| "This application no longer exists." | The applicant withdrew, or the application was removed. |
