Overview
In Element451, the Intended and Application fields help identify a student's status in the enrollment process. These fields distinguish between what students plan to study (Intended) and what they have officially applied for (Application).
Intended Fields
Designed to be used at the prospect stage (e.g., when a student submits a request for information form, registers for an event, etc.).
Capture what the student intends to study and the term they intend to enroll.
Can be added to Forms and Event registrations.
Where to Find Intended Fields
Student Profile → More Data → Academic
Student Profile → Header (or Sidebar)
To appear in the header or sidebar, they must be added to your profile template. You can learn how to customize profile templates in this article.

Application Fields
Designed to be used at the application stage when a student submits an application.
These fields are only available for Applications and capture official data related to a student’s application.
For more information on how applications are stored on the student profile, check out our help article, The Element451 Data Model.
Where to Find Application Fields
Decisions module
Student Profile → More Data → Applications
Student Profile → Application Card
If the application card is not visible, you may need to add it to your profile template. You can learn how to customize profile templates in this article.
Application Fields cannot be added to the header or sidebar of the student profile because they are scoped to an individual application, and a student may have more than one.

What About "Active" Fields?
An "active" field, such as Active Major, is a Trait. Traits are calculated by Element451 and updated when data is added to the Person record, reflecting the most current or relevant attribute values.
One of the most frequently asked questions is how to choose between “Active Term” and “Application Term” in Segments. You can read more about that topic here.
