User Account General Preferences

General preferences are assigned to each user account.

A user's general preferences are defined by system administrators in the User Account feature available in SmartOrg. Most general preferences can be modified by users in Recruiting, in the My Setup feature, to fit their personal preferences.

Certain user account general preferences are tied to a configuration setting. When this is the case, the setting sets a value for an entire zone, the user account general preference sets a value for a specific user, then that specific user can set his/her own personal preference (see table below).

Note: It is important at deployment to review the defaults for the Default Recruiter and Default Hiring Manager user preferences in My Setup. By default, if there is no Default Recruiter or Default Hiring Manager specified for a user's preference, when the user creates a requisition he/she will be automatically listed as the "Recruiter" on the requisition. If a user has his/her name in the Default Hiring Manager field, this will take precedence and the user will have his/her name appear in the Hiring Manager field rather than the Recruiter field. For proper behavior of managers, it is recommended to specify this information automatically upon integration imports of manager User data.
