Create and Save Custom Filter, Search, or Field Views

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.

After Customize View is selected from the tab header, key tables display, listing:

  • Default Fields Included in View (static Job Seeker fields)
  • Optional Fields Included in View (currently defined via the Customize View tab).

Create a Customized View

The customized View — also known as a filter or search, employed to narrow the Job Seekers list by Job Seeker identifiers — is created by completing the steps 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]

    Then, 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 selects New for you.

  2. Save the View for Future Use

    3. (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: The Home page lists any Saved Views at the top of the Dashboard.

  3. Add (and Delete) Fields to View

    4. Navigate to the Add Fields to View menu. Using the Find menu, 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 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.

    To delete an optional field, click the [Delete] button to the right of the entry.

  4. Apply View Settings

    5. 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.

    Search Resumes

    Navigate to the Resume Search menu, and enter one or more terms to be found in Resume content.

    Example:To review applicants who listed prior supervisor-level sales experience on their Resumes, enter “sales and supervisor”.

    Clear Search

    Choose the [Clear Search] button from the center of the Customized View tab or at the top of the Job Seekers tab.

    Open an Existing View

    Return to the Customize View tab / Save Options menu. Select: Existing. Then select a View Name from the drop-down.

    Note: If there are no Existing Views, the option is grayed out.

    Click [Apply Search].

    Remove an Existing View

    A View Name must be selected from the Existing (View) drop-down. Click on the adjacent [Remove this View] button. A confirmation message will appear; click [OK].
