About the Online Application

The Online Application is a web-based portal that allows prospective vendor applicants to apply for approval and renewal of their approval during the Pangea Vendor Management System (VMS) vendor approval process. During the online application process, applicants work to complete an online application form collection, which consists of a dynamically built set of online forms designed to obtain the information you require during the vendor approval process. The information, format, and fields that comprise the online application form collection are configurable, including the ability to add fields, set field labels, and indicate fields as required, encrypted, or sensitive. Mandatory online application form fields are clearly marked with an asterisk.

You can create customized online application form collections using the Administration dashboard. Contact your system administrator for more information regarding this dashboard.

Online applications can be set to expire after a certain number of days. If an incomplete online application expires, the vendor business applicant cannot log back in and complete the application. Contact your system administrator for help with defining the number of days for an application to expire to comply with your organization’s human resources standards.

The portal that serves as the access point for online applications also serves as the Returning Vendor dashboard after you submit the online application. You can use the Returning dashboard to access prefilled documents from the online application process, add additional individual vendor employee, manager, or owner applications, submit and pay for approvals and renewals, and perform other actions related to the vendor approval and renewal process. Refer to the Returning Vendor Dashboard Overview topic for more information on this dashboard.
