An application workflow defines the application experience a job applicant has when applying for a job. As a result of creating templates, when configuring a job requisition template or creating a job requisition, the administrator can select from the application workflow templates that are created on this page. When creating a job requisition template, after selecting the application workflow template, the administrator can then customize the application workflow template at the job requisition template level without affecting the original application workflow template.
To create an application workflow template, go to . Then click Create Template.

Mobile Icon

Delete Section

Section Percentages
To the left of each section title, a percentage field is displayed. This percentage represents the completion percentage that is achieved by completing the section, which is displayed to the applicant. This is intended to be a visual indication to the applicant of the length of each step of the application process. For example, if the Resume section percentage is set to 20%, then when the applicant completes the Resume section, their application completion percentage is increased by 20%. The percentages should roughly represent the percentage of time and effort required by the applicant to complete the application workflow.
All percentages must be positive, whole numbers and must total 100%. The current total is displayed at the bottom of the Add Section table. After modifying the percentages, the total at the bottom of the table automatically refreshes with the new percentages total.

For Upload Attachments actions, when the Disable Resume Parsing option is checked on the Edit Action Item pop-up, the resume sections on the Upload and Review steps are hidden on the application workflow preview.
For Prescreen Question sections, scoring information does not display in the preview. Also, the response that is identified as the correct response is not indicated in the preview.
For portals with multiple languages enabled, any translated fields display in the language of the administrator, if the administrator's language is available. If the administrator's language is not available, then the preview displays elements in the languages of the administrators who created the application workflow.
