PERMISSION NAME PERMISSION DESCRIPTION CATEGORY
Bio About - View

Enables user to view the Bio page for users within their permission constraints. This permission must be enabled to view the Transcript page within Universal Profile. If a user does not have this permission and they click a person's name or user photo within the Universal Profile, then the Bio page will not open.

On the Learner Home page, this permission also allows end users to view the Completions & Hours field, the training sidebar, and the Continue Learning carousel.

This permission can be constrained by Employee Relationship, OU, User's OU, User's Direct Reports, User Self and Subordinates, and User. Note: For security purposes, this permission is constrained to User Self and Subordinates by default. However, the permission constraints can be modified to allow users to view the Bio About page for other users.

Job Interests

The Job Interests panel appears in the upper-right corner of the Bio - Career page, and it displays all of the job interests that the user has identified.

Add Job Interests

Jobs can be marked as interests in the following manners:

  • Career Center > Search Jobs > Position Details > Add as Interest
  • Career Center > Career Path > Position Details > Add as Interest

Job Interests Panel

For each job in the Job Interests panel, the following information is displayed:

  • Job Title - This is the title of the requisition that the user marked as an interest.
  • Job Interest Category - This drop-down enables the user to select a category for the job interest. The available job interest categories are configured by the administrator in Succession Management.

    • Apply Now - This option is available when there is an open requisition for the job. Clicking the link opens the Position Details page for the corresponding job.
    • Create Job Alert - This option is available when there are no open requisitions for the job and the user has not yet created an alert for the job. Clicking the link enables job alerts to be sent to the user by email when a requisition is open for the job, provided the email is configured by the administrator. The job alert is immediately sent to the user when the job is posted to Career Center.
    • Remove Job Alert - This option is available when there are no open requisitions for the job and the user has already created an alert for the job. Clicking the link removes the existing job alert for the job.

Remove Job Interests

If the user is no longer interested in a job, they can remove the job interest by clicking the Remove icon in the upper-right corner of the corresponding job interest. This removes the job as an interest and the job interest no longer appears in the panel.

Edit Job Interests

When editing the Bio - Career page, all of the career preferences become editable. When this occurs, the Job Interests panel is hidden and a Job Interests section is added at the bottom of the page.

This section includes a link to the Career Center where users can add additional job interests. This link is only available if the user has permission to view the Career Center and if the Career Path tab of the Career Center is enabled via Bio Resume & Career Preferences.
