Application Custom Fields

The Application section in Custom Field Administration enables administrators to manage application-level custom fields. These fields appear on the Applicant Profile page, provided that the fields are added to the Application Custom Fields section in Requisition and Applicant Preferences. The field displays the value defined for the application. For recruiters with the appropriate permission, the value can be modified.

The Application Custom Fields page displays all existing application-level custom fields. From this page, administrators can create, edit, and delete application-level custom fields. Administrators can also manage the active status of the fields.

When active, an application custom field is available for administrators who meet the availability requirements to add to the Application Custom Fields section in Requisition Preferences. Inactive custom fields are not available to add to Requisition Preferences.

To access application custom fields, go to Admin > Tools > Core Functions > Custom Field Administration. On the Custom Field Administration page, select Application in the left navigation panel.
