Creating a User-Defined Field of Type "Number"

Configuration > [Recruiting] Administration > Fields
  1. Click a field category.
  2. Click Create User-defined Field.
  3. In the Type list, select Number.
  4. Enter a name for the field.
    The name is used internally. It must be unique and without any spaces. Spaces can result in problems for integration with other HRIS applications. Underscores can be used.
  5. Enter a label.
    This is the name that will be displayed to candidates in the career section, and to recruiters and hiring managers in the Recruiting Center.
  6. Enter a short label.
    This label name is used in lists. Short Label is not available for Department, Requisition and Offer user-defined fields.
  7. Enter information in the Attributes section.
    1. In the Specific Number Type field, select a number type: Not Specified, Number, Amount.
      In you selected Not Specified, enter in the Num. of Decimals field a number to set the maximum number of decimals in this field (numeric value only). Decimals count as digits. Therefore, the value entered in Num. of Decimals must be lower than the number entered in the Maximum field.
    2. In the Width field, enter a number to set the width of the field in terms of characters. For example, a value of 20 means that the field will be 20-character wide.
    3. In the Maximum field, enter a number to set the maximum number of digits in this field, including decimals.
    4. In the Default field, enter the number that will appear in the Number field by default. This number must reflect the settings entered previously. The Default value must be equal to, or higher, or lower than the maximum number of digits.
  8. Translate the field into all available languages. Languages are available at the upper right of the page.
