Lists and Filters

List Format

List formats allow the display of candidate and requisition information within columns.

Default candidate and requisition list formats are provided with the application. However, system administrators can create new list formats to better suit their organization needs.

List formats are available in the List Formats page. Recruiting Center users can select (among the list formats made available by their system administrator) the list format they wish to use to display candidate and requisition information . They can also create up to three list formats and select columns to display specific information (if permissions were granted). Columns available to choose from have been previously defined by system administrators.

List Format Context

List formats are organized by context, that is pages in the system where candidate files and requisition files would be presented to Recruiting Center users.

List format contexts are provided by the system. System administrators cannot create new ones. A context can contain several list formats. The number of list formats that can be created for a context is defined by Oracle.

Type of List Default List Format Contexts
Candidate
  • All Candidates by Requisition List

  • All Candidates by Folder List

  • All Candidate by Offer List

  • List of automatically pooled candidates

  • Requisition Specific Candidate List

  • Candidate Capture/Possible Duplicates List

  • Search Results / Advanced Search

  • Search Results / Quick Search

Requisition
  • Requisition List

  • Mini Requisition List

List Format Variation

Variations are used to organize list format contexts.

Three variations are available. Each Recruiting Center user is linked to a variation via their configuration profile.

Configuring List Formats

The configuration of a list format consists of the following steps.

  1. Configuring fields so they can be used as column headers in a list.

  2. Creating the list format.

  3. Displaying advanced filters in the list.

  4. Displaying quick filters in the list.

  5. Creating custom instructions for the list format context.

  6. Assigning a list format variation to configuration profiles.

Note: Be aware of the following specific field visibility behavior in candidate lists. Fields can be made visible for internal or external candidates (via the candidate security level permissions) and fields can be contextualized to appear only for certain Organizations-Locations-Job Fields or staffing types circumstances. As a result:
  • When a field was not made visible to the user for both internal and external candidates, the column will appear but data will be blank for situations where the user should not see the data.

  • When a field was made visible to the user for either internal or external candidates, the column will appear but data will be blank for situations where the user should not see the data.

  • When a field was made visible and available (active) to the user but was not used in the candidate file, data will be displayed if it exists. (This may happen if the field was supplied on another submission where the field is present).

  • When a field is not present on the file because it was not configured for display in a specific context (Organizations-Locations-Job Fields or staffing types), data will be displayed if it exists. (This may happen if the field was supplied on another submission where the field is present.)

Note: If compensation data is hidden from certain user types, it is important not to allow these fields to be available in the requisition list view context for these user types. If compensation fields are present in a list view, the data will appear to the user regardless of compensation data viewing permissions. It is possible to hide these fields from select user populations only by using the list format "variation" concept that is applied to a user's configuration profile.

Displaying Quick Filters in a List Displaying Quick Filters in a List

System administrators have the ability to configure quick filters available in requisitions and candidates lists.

For a list format context, system administrators can select quick filters amongst a predefined list of filters. See Candidate Quick Filters and Requisition Quick Filters.

System administrators can define a default value for certain quick filters. These default values are automatically applied to the list.

  • If a quick filter is displayed to users, users can choose to edit the default value for the filter.

  • If a quick filter is not displayed to users, this means that the users will only see candidates or requisitions according to this default value. As a result, the total number of candidates or requisitions can be different from what users see on their list.

Example: In the list format "All Candidates / By Requisition", the system administrator decides to not display the ACE filter but yet decides to set the ACE filter as a default value. As a result, when users review the candidates list of a specific requisition, they will see a certain number of candidates. However, if they click the "candidate" number, which will display the list format "All candidates / By Requisition" for that same requisition, the system will present them with only the ACE candidates, but will not display the ACE filter and therefore the number of candidates they see are reduced to only show ACE candidates.

  2. Select a variation in the Show list.

  6. Click Done.

Adding a Column to View Completed Submissions

When configuring list formats, system administrators can add a column, called Submission Completed Date, in requisition-specific candidate lists so that recruiters can view and sort candidate submissions based on the date when a job submission was completed.

Once the column Submission Completed Date is added to a requisition-specific candidate list, the title of the column in Recruiting is displayed as Submission Complete.

Job submissions are considered complete when:

  • A candidate completed a job submission and clicked the Submit button.

  • A candidate (usually internal candidate) refers someone when creating or updating a submission.

  • An agent refers someone when creating or updating a submission.

  • A recruiter matches a candidate to a requisition (when creating a new job submission or when a match is done with an incomplete job submission).

  • An import is done on a job submission.

  • A candidate is hired on a job submission.

This feature was developed to allow recruiters to look through a list of candidate submissions from top to bottom, where the candidate submission on the top is the oldest and the one at the bottom is the most recent. In some companies, this way of screening is mandatory as selection is performed in a first come first serve manner. To do this, the recruiter must see and sort on the submission completion date (ascending order) such that the oldest submissions are displayed on the top and the recruiter goes down through the list one candidate at a time. In addition to this, the correct filter must be activated in order not to include submissions that are not completed.

System administrators should verify if they were using the Submission Creation Date column in list formats to accomplish a behavior similar to the new Submission Completed Date column. If this is the case, it is recommended to use the new Submission Completed Date column instead because the Submission Creation Date column can include candidates that have not completed their submission (either because they saved as draft and never came back or simply because they simply dropped out of the process.

All candidate (submission) list contexts support the new Submission Completed Date column except for the following:

  • All Candidates by Folder

  • All Candidates by Offer

  • All Candidates by Talent Pool

  • Candidate Capture/Possible Duplicates

  • List of automatically pooled candidates

  • Search results/Advanced search

  • Search results/ Conceptual search

  • Search results/ Quick search

Column Width in Lists

The width of columns in lists differs whether the column header contains an icon or words.

The width of columns represented with an icon is 26 pixels.

The width of columns represented with a word (field) is set as follows: the word length + the sorting icon length. There is a minimum default width of 50 pixels. If a column has two fields (like Employer/Title or Step/Status), then the width would be increased by 30 pixels.

There are exceptions to the above rule. The table lists columns that have a specific hard-coded default width.

Quick Filter

Quick filters help Recruiting Center users to quickly filter a list down to relevant information.

Quick filters are displayed on the left panel of a page and are available in the following lists:

  • Tasks

  • Requisitions

  • Candidates

  • Offers

  • Requisition Templates

  • Questions

  • Interview Questions

  • Disqualification Questions

  • Competencies

  • Evaluation Categories

  • Evaluation Questions

  • Evaluation Questionnaires

By default, quick filter categories are collapsed and only display selected filtering criteria. When a filter category is collapsed, you can remove a criterion by clicking the Remove icon to the selected criterion. When a filter category is expanded, you can remove a criterion by clearing the criterion.


Image showing the quick filters with the Remove icon to remove a criterion.

Image showing the quick filters with the checkbox to remove a criterion.

When no quick filter is selected, the list displays all available entries. As soon as one filter is selected, it is automatically applied to the list and the list refreshes according to the selection made. Users do not need to refresh the list. For example, in the Requisitions list, if the "Status - Open" quick filter is selected, only open requisitions are displayed in the list.

Several quick filters can be applied at a time. Some quick filters have a Refresh icon to refresh the related list. Also, when entering data in more than one field and clicking the Refresh icon or pressing the Enter key, the refresh action takes into account the data entered in all the fields.

Note: When applying Organization, Location or Job Field quick filters, select the desired value and then click into another field in the quick filter area to get the list to refresh with the criteria applied.
Displaying Quick Filters in a List Displaying Quick Filters in a List

System administrators have the ability to configure quick filters available in requisitions and candidates lists.

For a list format context, system administrators can select quick filters amongst a predefined list of filters. See Candidate Quick Filters and Requisition Quick Filters.

System administrators can define a default value for certain quick filters. These default values are automatically applied to the list.

  • If a quick filter is displayed to users, users can choose to edit the default value for the filter.

  • If a quick filter is not displayed to users, this means that the users will only see candidates or requisitions according to this default value. As a result, the total number of candidates or requisitions can be different from what users see on their list.

Example: In the list format "All Candidates / By Requisition", the system administrator decides to not display the ACE filter but yet decides to set the ACE filter as a default value. As a result, when users review the candidates list of a specific requisition, they will see a certain number of candidates. However, if they click the "candidate" number, which will display the list format "All candidates / By Requisition" for that same requisition, the system will present them with only the ACE candidates, but will not display the ACE filter and therefore the number of candidates they see are reduced to only show ACE candidates.

"Tasks assigned to me" filter

The "Tasks assigned to me" filter was created to eliminate the confusion of mixing tasks that users own with tasks that users might not own, but are for requisitions they own.

The "Tasks assigned to me" filter is available in the Tasks list and Tasks channel. In the Tasks list, the filter is available in the "Show tasks for requisitions:" drop-down menu. It is the default value when accessing the Tasks list. In the Tasks channel, the "Tasks assigned to me" link brings users to the Tasks list which displays tasks assigned to them.

In the Tasks channel, when a task is clicked under Self-assigned Tasks, users are brought to the Tasks list. The "Tasks assigned to me" value in the Tasks list is selected by default no matter what the "Show the following information" filter on the home page is set to.

In the Tasks channel, when a task is clicked under Requisitions, Candidates, Offers, etc., users are brought to the Tasks list and the value in the "Show tasks for requisitions:" filter is identical to the value selected in the "Show information for requisitions:" filter of the home page. Example: If "I own" is selected in the home page, then "I own" will be selected by default in the "Show tasks for requisitions:" filter of the Tasks list. If a group is selected in the "Show information for requisitions:" filter on the home page, then the same group will be selected in the Tasks list.

Note: The Default Value for the Show Information Filter setting that can be set in a configuration profile has no effect on the Tasks list view and the Tasks channel view.

Advanced Filter

Advanced filters help Recruiting Center users to filter lists using an expansive set of filtering criteria.

Both requisitions and candidates lists have an Advanced Filters button in the left panel, at the very bottom of the Quick Filters panel. Recruiting Center users can select several advanced filter criteria to filter a list. Once criteria are selected, the criteria are presented to the user across the top of the screen with a Remove icon next to the criteria. When clicking the Remove icon, the criteria is removed and the list is dynamically updated according to the updated criteria set. User-defined fields can also be available as filtering criteria.

Advanced filters are filtering on an already filtered list, that is whatever advanced filter criteria is selected, the list will be filtered based on what is already displayed in the list.

Example: A user filters a requisitions list using the "Pending", "Open" and "On Hold" status quick filters (he does not select the Draft status filter). The user then applies the advanced filter "Status Details/Draft". The list will display "No matches found". In this example, the system first displays all requisitions except Draft ones. Then, from the results displayed by the quick filters, the system finds those requisitions that are draft.

When using advanced filters for which words must be entered, users can enter partial words. For example, a user could filter a candidate list with candidates whose first name starts with "cath". The system would retrieve candidates whose first name is "cathy", "catherine" or "cathia".

Advanced Filter - Keyword

When using the Keyword advanced filter in a requisitions list, the system looks through this content of the requisition file:

  • Requisition number

  • Requisition title

  • Requisition title by manager

  • Requisition internal description

  • Requisition external description

  • Job board summary description

  • Internal qualifications

  • External qualifications

  • Abstract

  • Additional information

  • Department

  • Position

  • Requisition/Job Information UDF

  • Offer UDF

  • Department UDF

Show Filter

The Show information for filter allows Recruiting Center users to filter information displayed in a list using ownership, collaboration or status criteria.

The Show information for filter can appear in the home page, the Requisitions list, Candidates list, Tasks list, Offers list, etc.

The Show filter:

  • Can be configured to be displayed everywhere except on the home page.

  • Can be configured to be displayed everywhere including the home page.

  • Can be hidden.

Values appearing in the Show filter depend on the permissions granted to the user and on the configuration of the application. Available values are the same for all three pages where the Show filter can appear. Possible values are:

  • ... I own

  • ... I collaborate on

  • ... I own or collaborate on

  • ... in my coverage area, I own or collaborate on

  • All

For example:

  • If a user's permissions does not allow the user to see requisitions they don’t own, the user will only see the "I own" value.

  • If a user's permissions allow the user to see requisitions they don’t own but the collaborator feature is not available in the company, the user will not see the following values related to the collaborator feature: "I own or collaborate on", "I collaborate on" and "in my coverage area, I own or collaborate on".

  • If a user's permissions allow the user to see requisitions they don’t own and the collaborator feature is available in the company, the user will see the following values related to the collaborator feature: "I own or collaborate on", "I collaborate on" and "in my coverage area, I own or collaborate on".

When displaying the Candidates list, a check box called Include inactive requisitions since appears just underneath the Show filter. Selecting this check box will add to the Requisitions list the Deleted, Canceled and Filled requisitions.
