Create and Save Custom Filter, Search, or Field Views

Quick Tip — What is a Customized View?: The customized View is a filter or search, employed to narrow the Job Seekers list by Job Seeker identifiers. This method is well-suited for complex or often-used searches and those involving Resume and Form content.

The Job Seekers > Customize View tab allows the user to create, save, and apply display options for the Job Seekers tab. Optional fields can be added or removed to adapt the Job Seekers list for specific needs.

To begin, consider the types of data fields you want to work with. Each of the data field types is represented by a Customize View menu:

  • Default Fields Included in View — The "static" Job Seeker fields that are always available for searching will be displayed here.
  • Optional Fields Included in View — This table will not be populated until these fields are defined, as described in step 4 below.
  • Resume Search— A custom Job Seekers list may be generated, by performing a search on Resume content.

Create a Customized View

The customized View is created by completing the steps, outlined below.

  1. Choose Requistion(s)
    2.

    To begin, from the Requisition drop-down, just below the tab header, select whether to search and filter on:

    • All (Requisitions)

    OR

    • [Specific Requisition Number]

  2. Select Save Options

    3. From the Save Options menu, select the radio button for: New; and enter the: View Name.

    Quick Tip: If no views are saved, the system selectsselects: New for you.New.

  3. Save the View for Future Use

    4. (Recommended) Check the box adjacent to the message: Save this view for later use. Once saved, the view will appear in the Existing drop-down for future selection.

    Quick Tip: A banner, listing Saved Views, will appear at the top of the Home page Dashboard.

  4. Add Fields to View

    5. Navigate to the Add Fields to View menu. Using the default Find sub-tab, type in a keyword, and click [Go]. From the Search results, which display below the menu, choose the [Field Name], and it will be included, as a bar, in the menu: Optional Fields Included in View.

    Note: Not all keyword Searches on the Find tab will produce results.

    To hone in on a particular Form field, use the Forms sub-tab, and select one of the provided links for a [Field Name]. The corresponding Question will also display to aid in selecting the field.

    Once developed, the Optional Fields Included in View can be reordered for the Job Seekers tab by clicking and dragging one or more bars to create the desired order.

  5. Apply View Settings

    6. When you are finished determining the View settings (as described above), select [Apply Search] to view the Job Seekers tab, based on the entered Customize View settings.
