Block

Blocks are added to sections of a user-defined file.

When creating a user-defined file, system administrators create sections then add blocks in each section. These blocks appear as sub-sections within the file. System administrators also define the properties of each block. This is where they can select a specific user-defined form for a block. For example, three Candidate Personal Information forms are available. When adding the Candidate Personal Information block to the file, the administrator can choose which of the three Candidate Personal Information forms will be used for that file.

Some block types have special properties that system administrators can configure.

Beside the user-defined forms that are used as blocks of information in a file, pre-defined blocks of information provided with the system are available and can be incorporated in a file. Some of these blocks have special properties. Note that the field level content of these blocks is not configurable, but system administrators do have control over the placement of this information in the file.

Owners	This block must be one of the first four blocks in the file. In addition, settings allow the display of the following fields: hiring manager, hiring manager assistant, recruiter assistant, collaborators. Note: There is no setting to disable the recruiter field, but this can be accomplished by contextualizing the field so that it only shows up in very limited circumstances. Technically, this field is required to save a requisition to the database as the recruiter is considered the primary owner, but if the field is hidden from view, the user creating the requisition will be assigned the role of recruiter behind the scenes. If the customer has activated Dynamic Approval Routing, the Owners block display the Manager field for users to be able to route a requisition for approval.
