Source Properties

Element	Description	Location
Source Type	Source types are provided by Oracle. System administrators cannot add any additional source types, but they can change the Display Name of any of the source types. For a list of available source types, see Source Types.	Configuration > [Recruiting] Sources
Origin - System	System-defined sources are provided by Oracle and cannot be deleted from the database. However, they can be removed by system administrators. A source that has been removed from the sources list can be added again as it remains available in the database. If a source is removed from the sources list, it no longer appears to users in the Recruiting Center, unless users can access Oracle sources directly because they have been granted the Select Taleo system sources in selector window user type permission. The use of a system-defined source can be modified by system administrators, that is if the source is used in the profiler, in a requisition, in both, or in none.	Configuration > [Recruiting] Sources
Origin - User	User-defined sources are created by system administrators. A user-defined source can be permanently deleted from the sources list, provided it is not being used. If a user-defined source is in use, deleting it will only inactivate it. The properties of a user-defined source as well as the Organization-Location-Job Field structure associated to it can be modified by system administrators even if the source is in use.	Configuration > [Recruiting] Sources
Visibility	The visibility of a source can be set to internal or public. An internal source can be viewed only by Recruiting Center users. A public source can be viewed by candidates in Career Sections and by Recruiting Center users. The private setting "Display Internal Source on Internal Career Sections" allows customers to decide if they want the internal visibility sources to display on internal career sections. Contact Oracle Support for details on this setting.	Configuration > [Recruiting] Sources
Use - In profiler or In requisition	A source can be used in a requisition source list (in requisition) and/or in a general profile source list (in profiler). If the use of a source is not defined, then the source will not automatically default into the source list for the requisitions or the general profiles. However, via the Recruiting Center, a user can still add the source to a specific source list. The use of a source can be modified after it has been created.	Configuration > [Recruiting] Sources
Organization-Location-Job Field classification	A source can be associated to organizations, locations, and/or job fields. If a source is to be available to all requisitions, no Organization-Location-Job Field structure needs to be associated to the source. However: When creating a requisition, only the sources that have the same Organization-Location-Job Field structure as the requisition are displayed in the Sources list. When a candidate applies on a job (requisition), only the sources that have the same Organization-Location-Job Field structure as the requisition on which the candidate is applying on, are displayed in the Sources list. When candidates complete their profile without actually applying on a job, all sources that are active and set to "In Profiler" will display, no matter what the Organization-Location-Job Field structure is set for on the source. The reason for this is that the source tracking block can be placed before or after the Organization-Location-Job Field block and therefore the system is just set to not look at the Organization-Location-Job Field when defining what sources to display.
