Delete Fields

You can delete certain fields from the form to simplify it as your organization requires. For example, some organizations might not need the Shift Trading Policy field in the Candidate Hire form.

Important: The following fields are required for hiring an employee and shouldn't be deleted.

  • First Name
  • Last Name
  • SIN/SSN
  • Birth Date
  • Location
  • Job Assignment
  • Status
  • Pay Type
  • Pay Class

For example, if the Status field is deleted, users won't be able to select an employment status. As a result, the workflow will fail to process after the form is submitted and approved, and an error will be displayed in Message Center:

Error in workflow message.

You can delete a field in one of the following two ways:

  1. Highlight and remove all of the elements belonging to the field. All of the elements of a field are contained within the <Label></Label> and <Field></Field> tags:
  2. Highlighted field elements.
  3. Or comment out all of the elements of the field. To do this, cut the closing arrow (-->) from the <!-- Preferred First Name --> tag above the <Label> tag, and paste it under the </Field> tag:
  4. Closing arrow to comment out field elements.
