Associate Legal Employers with a Job

You can associate multiple legal employers with a job using the Legal Employers That Use This Job extensible flexfield (EFF) context. If you have enabled Oracle Search for Jobs LoV, this will help in filtering the jobs based on the selected legal employer, on pages that will implement this feature in the future.

Here are some key points to note:

  • You can associate multiple legal employers with a job, but you can't associate the same legal employer twice with the same job.
  • You can associate the same legal employer with different jobs.
  • You can delete the legal employer - job association.
  • This legal employer - job mapping is copied when you duplicate a job.
  • You can associate legal employers when creating, updating, or correcting a job.
  • The legal employer list of values will display all active and inactive legal employers configured. Filtering isn’t done for only active legal employers.
  • Legal employers are listed in the ascending order of legal employer name.
  • Jobs are first filtered based on the set. And thereafter, if an association exists, they're filtered based on the legal employers.
  • A job must have at least one associated legal employer, for the job to be filtered based on a legal employer.
  • You can associate jobs with legal employers using both classic and responsive job pages but you can use the job filtering only on Redwood pages because this feature is delivered for REST LOVs only.
  • You can also use HCM Data Loader (HDL) to associate legal employers with a job.
  • The job - legal employer association is also migrated when you migrate your Job configuration using the Functional Setup Manager (FSM) export/import functionality.
  • An extra parameter is added on the REST jobsLovV2 as follows:
    • LegalEmployerId in findByWord finder.
  • If you have enabled Oracle Search for Jobs LoV, only pages that have implemented this feature will demonstrate this additional filtering.

In this example, Vision Enterprise has 3 legal employers Vision Corporation, Vision US, and Vision Consulting associated with multiple jobs in the US. You want to filter jobs associated with Vision Corporation.

Let's look at the steps to update this association.
