Candidate Information Integrity While Editing

The system prevents people from making changes to candidate information while someone else is editing it.

It is common to have situations where more than one person has the permissions required to edit candidate files. These people might be candidates, Onboarding (Transitions) Center users, Recruiting Center users. The system prevents someone (the candidate, an Onboarding (Transitions) Center or a Recruiting Center user) from editing a candidate file while someone else is making changes. After the changes are saved, the file becomes unavailable automatically and anyone who has the required permissions can edit the file.

If a candidate attempts to edit his/her own file while a Recruiting Center or Onboarding (Transitions) Center user is editing it, a message is displayed in the career section, inviting the candidate to return later to make changes.

If a Recruiting Center or Onboarding (Transitions) Center user attempts to edit a candidate file while the candidate or another Recruiting Center or Onboarding (Transitions) Center user is editing it, the message displayed to the user includes the name of the person currently editing the candidate file.

While a candidate file is being edited by someone, other people who have the required permissions can still access read-only information related to the file.

If someone is editing candidate information and the Booker Release Interval setting value is exceeded, the candidate file becomes available for editing automatically. In other words, if the individual ceases to actively edit candidate information and the elapsed time exceeds the Booker Release Interval setting value, the candidate file becomes available and someone else can then edit it.
