      Picklist Editor

      Administrators can view and edit entire picklists; view, edit, add and delete picklist values; and, view and edit data feed picklist mappings.

      Exposing the Picklist Editor allows Administrators to configure picklists, better diagnose issues and generally clean up picklist data.

      Edit Picklists

      Using the Edit Picklistssection, an Administrator can select from pre-existing picklists in the system using a drop-down menu, and view a list of all picklist ID's and values for a given picklist. Individual values can be edited, for example, to update or correct a typo, or completely removed from the system. A value can only be removed if it is not being used by the application. If it is being used, it must be remapped before removal and the Administrator will be asked to remap it to another existing picklist value first. A single value or multiple values in bulk, separated by line breaks, may also be added to the picklist. The entire picklist can also be downloaded to Excel, in CSV format, using the link on the top right of the list if the data is needed externally.

      Edit Data Feed Picklist Mapping

      Using the Edit Data Feed Picklist Mapping section, an Administrator can download or upload an Excel document, .xls or .xlsx file, containing a mapping of data feed values to display values. Changes can be made to the mapping by downloading the existing mapping file, editing individual one-to-one mappings as needed in Excel or another spreadsheet editor and re-uploading the file to the application.
      Note:
      • The Picklist Editor is intended for use primarily during setup and should not be used for maintenance.

      • Values for job-related picklists, job_location and job_category, are populated as the Job Feed runs and should not be edited.
