Create Additional Fields for Job Requisitions

In the Job Requisition Additional Fields feature, you can configure one or more additional fields for use in your organization's job requisitions. These additional fields can be used to track and report on different types of information based on your organization's needs.

To create an additional field:

1. Go to Recruiting Setup > Job Requisition Additional Fields.
2. Click Add.
3. In the General section, configure each field as follows:
   • Name: Enter a unique name for the additional field.
   • Description: (Optional) Enter a description for the additional field.
   • Reference Code: This field is read-only and displays the unique reference code assigned to the additional field.
   • Role Security: Select one or more roles to limit which users have access to the additional field. If no roles are selected, all users will have access to this additional field in Recruiting.
   • Display in Job Requisition Wizard: Select the checkbox and the additional field is displayed in the Add New Requisition wizard in Recruiting and is automatically assigned to all new job requisitions created using the wizard.
   • Active: This checkbox is selected by default, which indicates that the field is active. Active fields are visible in Recruiting and can be assigned to new or existing job requisitions. Clear the checkbox and the field is deactivated. Deactivated fields are hidden in any of the job requisitions to which they are assigned, and they can no longer be assigned to new or existing job requisitions.
   • Required: Select the checkbox to indicate that the additional field is required information. An asterisk will be displayed next to the field in the job requisition.
4. In the Data section, select an option in the Data Type drop-down list to specify the type of field that you want to add. When assigned to a job requisition, fields with each data type are displayed as follows:
   • Checkbox: Displayed as a single checkbox, which the user can select or clear based on the purpose of the additional field.
   • Date: Displayed as a field from which the user can select a specific date.
   • Numeric: Displayed as a field in which the user can enter a numeric value.
   • Single Select Pick List: Displayed as a drop-down list from which the user can select only one option.
   • Text: Displayed as a field in which the user can enter a text value.
   • Time: Displayed as a field from which the user can select a time.
   • Multi Select Pick List: Displayed as a drop-down list from which the user can select one or more options.
5. If you selected Single Select Pick List or Multi Select Pick List in the Data Type drop-down list, do the following in the displayed Pick List Options section:
   1. Click Add.
   2. In the Name column, enter a name for the pick list option.
   3. In the Reference Code column, enter a unique reference code for the pick list option.
   4. Repeat steps a through c for additional pick list options.
6. Note: You can copy, delete, and localize existing pick list options by selecting them and then clicking the associated button in the Pick List Options toolstrip.
6. Click Save.

After creating an additional field, you can assign it to existing job requisitions using the Assign/Unassign option. See Assign or Unassign Additional Fields from Existing Job Requisitions.

If needed, you can also copy existing additional fields, localize additional fields, and delete additional fields using the corresponding buttons in the feature toolstrip. For more information about the requirements for deleting additional fields, see Delete Additional Field for Job Requisitions.
