Why use folders and notes?
Folders take a few extra minutes to create, but they offer benefits that make the time worth spending.
1) Folders can help organize applications by position so that they can be quickly and easily located by principals/administrators.

2) Folders can control who can see what. As an example, consider a teacher who may be on a selection committee. The teacher, who has no other access, could be given access to only those applications of candidates being considered for a specific position.
