Configuration Menu

The Configuration menu gives system administrators access to all administration components of Taleo Enterprise products in one centralized menu.

The Configuration menu is composed of sub-administration menus divided into two main sections:

  • Central Configuration: Elements in the Central Configuration menu are used to manage content, data, settings, and configurations that are used across multiple products.

  • Specific Configuration: Elements in the Specific Configuration menu are used to manage content, data, settings, and configurations that are targeted to a specific product or product area.

Depending on the products activated within your organization, the content of the Configuration menu may vary.
