Create Custom Views and Save them for Future Use

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

To begin, from the Requisition drop-down, 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.

(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.

Add (and Delete) Fields to View

Augment the current set of Requisition fields by choosing one or more options from the Add Fields to View menu. Selections will then appear as bars under: Optional Fields Included in View. Optional fields can be reordered for the Requisitions tab by clicking and dragging one or more bars to create the desired order.

To delete an optional field from the Add Additional Fields to View menu, click the [Delete] button to the right of the entry.

Note: If you are an Administrator, the Add Fields to View menu is based on System Tools > Client Settings / Job Seekers / Fields, as determined during the balanceTRAK Implementation.
