Set Fields as Required in Job Application Flows

You can create rules in Transaction Design Studio to set fields as required in application flows, request information flows, and talent community flows. When fields are set as required, candidates need to complete them to submit their job applications.

This applies to blocks which use profile content sections:

• Licenses and Certificates
• Education
• Languages
• Experience
• Skills
• Work Preferences

It also applies to the Email Address and Phone Number fields (Contact Information). By default, the Email Address field is required.

Note: Configuring the Email Address and Phone Number as required doesn't have any effect on the candidate identity verification method. Candidates can still decide whether they want to confirm their identity using a phone number or email address.

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 Define Application Flow Required Fields.
5. Click Add to create and configure a rule.
6. In the Basic Details section, enter a name and description for the rule. Select an application flow.
7. In the Available Attributes section, select a data source. Fields available for the selected data source are displayed.
8. Decide which fields are required. If a field was set as required at the profile level, the Required setting is disabled. Also, the Required setting is applied per profile template. This means that if a field is set as required, the required setting applies to all content sections of that template.
   Note:

   The Visible field isn't functional. If you change it, it won't have any effect on the application flow.
9. Click Save and Close.
