Assign or Unassign Additional Fields from Existing Job Requisitions

After creating an additional field in the Job Requisition Additional Fields feature, you can assign it to one or more open job requisitions. You can also unassign fields from open job requisitions at any time.

You can identify the job requisitions that a field is currently assigned to by referring to the Assigned to Job Requisitions section for the field in Job Requisition Additional Fields. This section is read-only and is displayed only for your reference.

To assign or unassign an additional field:

1. Go to Recruiting Setup > Job Requisition Additional Fields.
2. Select an additional field in the sidebar.
3. In the Assign/Unassign drop-down list, select one of the following options:
   • Assign to All Open Job Requisitions: Allows you to assign the field to all open job requisitions in Recruiting. When you click this option, a dialog box opens asking you to confirm that you want to assign the field. Click OK to confirm and save your selection. All of the open job requisitions are populated in the Assigned to Job Requisitions section for the additional field.
   • Note: The additional field is only assigned to job requisitions that are currently open. It isn't automatically assigned to new job requisitions that are opened after this assignment is completed.
   • Unassign from All Open Job Requisitions: Allows you to unassign the field from all open job requisitions to which it is currently assigned. When you click this option, a dialog box opens asking you to confirm that you want to unassign the field. Click OK to confirm and save your selection. All of the job requisitions displayed in the Assigned to Job Requisitions section for the additional field are removed.
   • Manually Assign or Unassign from Job Requisitions: Allows you to select specific job requisitions to assign the additional field to. When you click this option, the Assign to Selected Job Requisitions dialog box opens.
4. In the Assign to Selected Job Requisitions dialog box:
   1. In the AVAILABLE column, select the job requisition that you want to assign the additional field to. Or, in the SELECTED column, select the job requisition that you want to unassign the additional field from.
   2. Note: In both the AVAILABLE and SELECTED columns, Dayforce displays the title and ID for each open job requisition. If needed, you can sort the job requisitions by either title or ID by clicking the associated heading for the list. You can also use the Search field in the dialog box to filter the AVAILABLE list for a specific title or ID number.
   2. Click the necessary arrow to move the selected job requisition from the AVAILABLE column to the SELECTED column (to assign the additional field) or from the SELECTED column to the AVAILABLE column (to unassign the additional field).
   3. Repeat steps a and b for additional job requisitions.
   4. Click Assign. A dialog box opens asking you to confirm and save your assignments.
   5. Click Save. The job requisition assignments are saved and displayed in the Assigned to Job Requisitions section for the additional field.

Note: Job requisition assignments are saved independently from other changes made to the additional field. As such, you must still click Save to save any other changes that you've made to the additional field details (such as name or description).
