Understanding Copying Qualifications To Non-Primary Job Codes

To expedite data entry in job openings with multiple job codes, the system enables you to copy job qualifications from the primary job code to all other job codes.

The Copy Process

Copy functionality is available for both standard requisitions and continuous job openings.

The copy process copies data to existing non-primary job codes. Any data that already exists for the non-primary job codes is not affected.

For example, if the primary job code includes competencies A, B, and C, and a non-primary job code includes competency X, then after the copy process, the non-primary job code will have four competencies: A, B, C, and X.

If you add additional job codes after copying, the system automatically copies the primary job code qualifications to the newly added job code. In this situation, the system copies the primary job code qualifications as they are at the time the new job code is created, which may be different than the qualifications that were copied at the time of the original copying process.

Copyable Data

The data that is copied includes:

• Work Experience and Education.

• Screening Questions.

  The copy process copies the evaluators for open-ended questions along with the questions themselves.

• Content items from profile-based qualifications.

  Examples of profile-based qualifications include competencies, degrees, and languages.

Note:

There are other data sections (staffing information, salary information, and screening information) that have separate rows for each job code in the job opening, but the copy process does not copy data in these sections. The Copy Qualifications from Primary Job Code button does not appear unless the page shows copyable sections.
