Display Candidate Flexfields in Extra Info Tab

You can configure flexfields to allow recruiting users to view, edit, and add info provided by candidates in those flexfields, and to add candidate flexfields for internal usage.

The Extra Info tab in candidate profiles is divided into two sections to display those flexfields:

• Candidate Extra Info: Recruiting users can view, edit, and add info provided by the candidate in those flexfields.

• Extra Internal Info: Recruiting users can add flexfields or edit data in those flexfields for internal use. Internal Info flexfields aren't visible to the candidate.

You first need to define flexfields to allow recruiting users to view and edit extra information about candidates. When defining flexfields, you need to consider the following:

• Add or adjust contexts and context sensitive segments.

• For each job application context, add Usage Code for Candidate Application and Usage Code for Person in the Context Usages tab.

• Associate contexts to the Person Extra Information category.

• Add or adjust pages to the Person Extra Information category.

• Add or adjust Associated Context Details for a page.

As an example, here's how to define flexfields for a context called Hobbies, add context usages, and create value sets.

1. In the Setup and Maintenance work area, go to

   • Offering: Recruiting and Candidate Experience

   • Functional Area: Workforce Information

   • Task: Manage Person Extensible Flexfield

2. Select the extensible flexfield called Person EIT Information.

3. Click the Edit icon.

4. On the Manage Person Extensible Flexfield page, click Manage Contexts.

5. In the Search Results section, click the Create icon.

6. On the Create Context page, let's say you create a context called Hobbies.

7. In the Context Usages tab, click the Create icon and add these two usages. For a context to be used in a job application, you must include these context usages:

   • Usage code for candidate application

   • Usage code for person

8. In the Context Sensitive Segments section, click the Create icon.

9. On the Create Segment page, click Create Value Set. Let's say you create a value set named Hobby Category.

10. When you're done creating the value set, click Manage Values.

11. On the Manage Values page, create values such as Arts, Sports.

12. When you're done, associate contexts to pages.

You then need to configure the candidate file Extra Info tab in the Transaction Design Studio.

1. Activate a sandbox and page editing at the Site layer in Settings and Actions Menu > Edit Pages > Activate a sandbox.

2. On your Home page, go to My Client Groups > Quick Actions > HCM Experience Design Studio.

3. Click the Transaction Design Studio tab.

4. Select the action Recruiting - Candidate Extra Info.

5. Click Add to create a rule to display flexfields.

6. In the Basic Details section, enter a name and description for the rule. Select a role, or one or more countries, or both if you want to render flexfield contexts and pages in the candidate file Extra Info tab based on a role, countries, or both.

7. In the Page Attributes section, select a region: Candidate Extra Info or Extra Internal Info.

8. Click the Edit icon.

9. Select the pages and regions you want to make visible.

10. Click Done.

11. Click Save and Close.
