Customize the Columns You See for Candidate Lists

- Classic Recruiter Experience -

In the Classic Recruiter Experience, you can use the View panel to customize which columns are displayed in candidate talent pools, the Candidate Management tab, and the Candidates tab for job requisitions in Recruiting > Job Requisitions. Customizing the columns allows you to, for example, create a simpler user experience by reducing the number of columns that are displayed.

Note: For information on each column, see Candidate List Columns for the Classic Recruiter Experience.

The column options are saved when you navigate away from Recruiting, and even when you log out of Dayforce. However, you can restore the default column settings at any time.

To change the column options in the Classic Recruiter Experience:

  1. Go to the candidate list that you want to customize.
  2. Click View in the toolstrip. The application opens a panel that lists all of the columns that are currently displayed.
  3. In the panel, click Choose Columns to open the Column Options dialog box.
  4. Note the following about this dialog box:
    • The AVAILABLE list displays the columns not yet added to the grid, while the SELECTED list displays the columns currently selected.
    • The order in which columns are displayed in the SELECTED list is how they are displayed on the grid.
    • The columns that are displayed in the SELECTED list with a checkmark are mandatory, which means they can't be removed from the SELECTED list or reordered.
  5. Click the left and right arrows to move a selected column option from one list to the other.
  6. Note: Press and hold the Ctrl key to select more than one column option from the list.
  7. Click the up and down arrows to move one or more selected columns up and down the SELECTED list to change how they will be ordered on the grid.
  8. Click the move all left and right arrows to move all of the column options at once from one list to the other, without having to select any columns.
  9. This restores columns to the default ordering.
  10. Click Select.
  11. The Column Options dialog box closes, and the View panel updates to display the selections that were made (however, the grid isn’t updated yet).
  12. Click Apply.

You can click Clear in the View panel to remove all of the current column selections (aside from the mandatory columns).
