**Summary:** Filter members by progression and review who is ready for the next rank. The roster and readiness filters show the intended location, program, rank, and…  
**Who can do this:** Organization owners, Managers, Staff  
**Required access:** `organization.membership`  
**Where in PositiveForm:** `/advancement`  
**Status:** Verified on 2026-07-29 against PositiveForm build `fe1de72`.

## Who this is for

This guide is for **staff, managers, and owners** who filter the member list by
progression and readiness before recording a promotion.

You need membership access to open Advancement. Recording still needs
`members.change` ([Record member advancement](https://positiveform.com/guides/advancement/record-advancement/)).

## Before you begin

- A progression must exist ([Configure a progression](https://positiveform.com/guides/advancement/configure-progression/)).
- Select the location you are reviewing.

## Steps

1. Click **Advancement** in the left navigation.
2. Choose the progression in the progression control (for example **Striking
   Belts**).
3. Optionally search with **Search members**.
4. Narrow with **All ranks**, **Active only** (or other status), **Filter by
   program**, and age bounds when needed.
5. Select the members you intend to advance. Use page-level select when the
   list supports selecting everyone on the page.
6. Click **Review next →** to open the review step with your selection.

## Expected outcome

You have a filtered, selected cohort ready for the advancement review screen,
where ranks are confirmed before they are saved.

## Recovery

If the board tells you to configure a progression first, complete
[Configure a progression](https://positiveform.com/guides/advancement/configure-progression/).

If no members match, clear filters and search, or confirm the progression and
location.

If **Review next** fails to prepare, refresh the list and try again; do not
assume ranks changed.
