Add an Optional Note for Canceled Offers

When you click Cancel Offer in the Create/Edit Offer form, Dayforce automatically displays the Add/View Notes dialog box, where you can provide an explanation for the canceled offer if you want.

Notes added for a canceled offer are displayed in the Add/View Notes dialog box and in the Jobs Applied For section of the candidate's profile, next to the offer status. If there was already a note next to the offer status (for example, from a previous offer), the new note replaces it. However, all past notes are stored in the Add/View Notes dialog box. See Candidate Notes.

Note: The note displayed in the Jobs Applied For section is subject to the same permissions as when viewing the note in the Add/View Notes dialog box. For example, if you set the Visible Only To Me permission for the note, other users can't see it in the Jobs Applied For section.

To add a note in the Add/View Notes dialog box:

  1. Click inside the text box:
  2. Add/View Notes dialog box with text field.
  3. Enter the note that you want to add.
  4. In the Attach to field, specify whether the note will be attached to the job requisition or to the candidate’s record.
  5. In the Display to drop-down list, define the visibility of the note by selecting one of the following options:
    • Everyone: Visible to all users with access to the candidate.
    • Tagged People Only: Visible to you and users that you tagged in the note. 
    • Only Me: Visible only to you.
  6. Click Post. The application adds the note in the dialog box.
  7. Click the X in the top-right corner to close the dialog box.
