The six categories are represented square icons with different colors. The icon for no category is a transparent square with a dotted line border.

Definition

Category

Displays the category icon.

Priority

Enter sequence numbers to set the category order. This controls the category order on the My Job Categories page. Also, the grids on the Search Job Openings page and on the My Job Openings pagelet include a sortable column for the job opening category, and the sort order reflects the priority assigned here.

Status

Select Active to make the category available on the My Job Categories page so that you can assign the category to job openings. Select Inactive to remove the category from the My Job Categories page.

Inactivating a category does not affect job openings that already have that category, and the category remains available as search criteria on the Search Job Openings page.

Description

Enter a personalized descriptive name for each category. The delivered category names simply identify the color of the associated icon (for example, Red Category).
