This section describes how to make the following edits to the XML code of custom Candidate Hire forms in Workflow Administration > Form Builder:
- Delete Fields
- Relocate Fields
- Mark Fields as Required or Not Required
- Mark Fields as Read-Only
- Add Employee Property Fields
Important: When editing the custom Candidate Hire form, you shouldn’t do the following:
- You shouldn’t add new fields that aren't originally supported in the default Candidate Hire form. Additional fields might not map to the employee record upon new hire.
- You shouldn’t edit any names of fields or sections, or any instructional text in the form. This will cause the text localization to fail when opened in other languages.
As a best practice when editing XML code of a form, you should copy all of the XML code from the form in Dayforce and paste it to a separate text editing program (for example, Notepad++). Once the code is in the text editing program, you can make necessary changes. When you're done editing, you can copy and paste the code back to the text editor in the custom form and save the changes.
Note: This section covers typical XML code editing scenarios for forms. For more information about editing XML code in forms, see the XML Forms Guide.
