Dependency for Fields in Faceted Search

If certain fields have been configured such that they are not displayed in career sections generally, they cannot be selected on the Faceted search configuration page for display on the Faceted search page of the career section.

The fields are found in the following three sections on the Faceted search configuration page:

  • Displayed filters

  • Search bar fields

  • Job list columns

This feature is best explained by a series of examples. Take the case where the system administrator has configured the Job Field field such that it is not displayed in career sections generally. The administrator does this by going to Configuration > [Recruiting] Administration > [Fields] Requisition > Job Field > Edit Field Availability, and ensuring the check box next to Career Section is not selected. If the system administrator next goes to the Faceted search configuration page of a career section, Configuration > [Career Section] Administration > Career Sections > (click a career section) > [Career Portal Pages] Show > Faceted Search > Edit Properties, the Job Field field is not displayed in the Displayed filters, Search bar fields and Job list columns lists so it cannot be added.

If the system administrator configures the Job Field field such that it is displayed in career sections generally, the field becomes available for selection in the Displayed filters, Search bar fields and Job list columns lists on the Faceted search configuration page. The administrator can then select Job Field to make it available in the corresponding section of the Faceted search page of the career section.

A third case is where a field such a field was added to the Faceted search configuration page and later the system administrator configured the field such that it was not displayed in career sections generally. The field is displayed as a selection on the Faceted search page, however, a yellow icon next to the field serves to indicate that the field was disabled for career sections generally and consequently the field will not be displayed on the Faceted search page in the career section.

If the field is later made available for display in career sections generally, the yellow icon is no longer displayed next to the field on the Faceted search configuration page, indicating that the field is displayed anew in the career section.
