A Program is your call for applications: a challenge, award, hackathon, hiring intake or any other initiative. In this guide, you'll create your first program and set up its main page.
What is a Program?
Each Program has its own content page, rounds, forms, evaluators and timeline.
Tips
Create a separate program for each project or event, for example one innovation competition on your "Innovation" platform.
Shape the rounds, forms, judging and timeline around your goals.
Run as many programs at once as you need. They don't affect each other.
Create a Program
On your dashboard, open the right Workspace and click Manage on your platform.
2. Click Programs in the top bar.
3. Click + New Program. A draft called "New Program (Draft)" is created right away, with a first round, and its page opens so you can set it up.
Tip: the programs list has Home, Ongoing, Completed, Archived and Trash tabs. Each card's ⋯ menu has Archive, Publish, Clone, Feature, Hide from participants and Remove.
Set up the program page
Your program opens on its Content tab, in the About section.
Program Title: replace "New Program (Draft)" with your program's name.
Program Slug: the part of the web address that comes after your platform domain.
About Section Title and description: what participants read first on your program page. Add your main image in the right column.
Type: for example competition, hackathon, award or accelerator. See Understanding Untap Program Types.
Tags: add sector tags to categorize your program.
Visibility: choose who can see the program:
• Public: anyone with the link
• Logged-In Users: registered users only
• Invited Only: people you invite

Display options: choose whether to reveal the number of submissions or views, disable chat with participants, send weekly roundup emails, allow open applications without account creation, use a horizontal content menu, or enable a custom program URL.
Click Save Content.
