     7different places. Moreover, the students section is completely

    8 Anonymous users can self-register and automatically become applicants (users) of the portal. The number of applicants is not limited and, theoretically, Kofa can host hundredthousands of applicants in various applicants containers. Usually, only a few of them are beeing accepted for studying at the university. Once the application process has ended, admitted applicants are transformed into student records.  New student records are created and the data are copied from the applicant records. When this 'student creation' process is finished, the applicant records are dispensable. Aim was to provide an easy way to get rid of the huge batches of applicant records by only one click, in order to keep the database clean and tidy. The process is described further below.

    12   The term 'application' has a double meaning in English. An 'application' in computer sciences stands for a software or web application. Software developers may get confused by using the term in a different context. To take this into account, we prefer to speak of 'applicant' in this documentation, instead of 'application' although, in the linguistic context, it sometimes makes more sense to speak of the latter. However, in the user interface (UI) and also in Python docstrings the term 'application' predominates.

    14 In contrast to student containers, applicant containers do not contain subcontainers. The only objects they contain are applicant payment tickets (i.e. instances `ApplicantOnlinePayment`). Thus it does not make sense to speak of a  treelike structure. In contrast to the students section
     36Much like students, applicants are also a users of the portal and
     37the applicant object is a user account surrogate, see
     38:ref:`Applicants and Students <applicants_and_students>`. In the
     39following we always refer to the applicant container when talking
     40about an applicant.

     42In contrast to students containers, applicant containers do not
     43contain subcontainers. The only objects they contain are applicant
     44payment tickets (i.e. instances of `ApplicantOnlinePayment`). Thus
     45the hierarchy is flat and not really treelike as the students
     46section. Also, applicants (applicant containers) are stored in
     47different parent containers (instances of `IApplicantsContainer`).
     48There is not one single parent container like in the students
     49section but one container for each application session and
