Redwood Experience: Defaulting and Validation Rules for Create and Edit Offer Flows

Customers can define and write business rules in Visual Builder Studio to default and validate the values in the various fields of the job offer section while creating or editing the job offer.

Customers need to reconfigure the defaulting and validation rules in Visual Builder Studio which were supported using auto-complete rules in responsive UI.

The name of the flow in Visual Builder Studio is called Create or Edit Job Offer. It’s located in the Hiring menu.

In Redwood, Visual Builder Studio defaulting rules will trigger to default the values in the targeted fields when the user visits the section during the create flow. If the user modifies the target field (on which BRF defaulting rule is written) and moves back and forth in the same create flow (without clicking the Save or Submit buttons), the user modified value will be retained. But if the user clicks Save and Close or Submit and revisits that section in a new create or edit flow, the defaulting rules will override the user modified value. Customer should pay attention to this Redwood behavior and make fields read-only if they have written defaulting rules for some fields and don’t want users to modify them.

Here are some examples of supported use cases:

  • Default Payroll field in the Payroll info section while creating the job offer based on the selected business unit and location.
  • Default the Payroll field in the Payroll info section of the create and edit job offer page based on the recruiting type selected in the create job requisition page.
  • Default Job offer assignment info section to be auto populated with the values of the Position descriptive flexfields.
  • Default Proposed Start Date while creating the job offer.
  • Default offer letter based on the country or business unit.

With this feature, customers can configure defaulting and validation rules that they configured using auto-complete rules.
