Defining the Properties of a Field

Configuration > [Recruiting] Administration > Fields

1. Click a field category.
2. Click the name of a field.
3. Click Edit Field Availability next to Properties.
4. Select where the field will be available: Recruiting Center, career sections, the candidate search feature, the History tab, and in reports (UDFs only).
5. For the Date of Birth, Social Security Number, and any candidate user-defined fields, the Personally Identifiable Information (in Career Section) option is available. When selected, if candidates enter a value in these fields and save the page, the value is no longer displayed in the field and asterisks are displayed in place of the value on the Summary page. See Masking Values for Date of Birth, Social Security Number and Candidate UDFs.
6. Indicate if the content for the field is required to save, approve (requisition fields only), or source (requisition fields only) or if it is not required.
   Recruiting Center users will need to enter information in the field in order to proceed. If content is not required, users do not have to enter information in the field. If a field in a file is mandatory and the user is not authorized to edit the field because of the security level of the field, an error message will be displayed and the user will not be allowed to complete the transaction.
   Offer fields configured as required only apply in the context of a job offer (Offer Terms). As a result, offer fields are not required when users are creating other types of offers (that is, current job, competitive offer, expectations). Also, users permitted to create/edit supplementary offers are able to enter as much or as little data as they desire, and when creating a job offer they are required to complete any required fields prior to saving.
7. Specify the security level of the field, that is General, Restricted, or Confidential.
8. Click Save.
