Custom Fields

Occasionally users may want to add new fields to their candidate and requisition records, without submitting a Change Request (CR) and losing time waiting for the fields to be added.

When adding custom fields, you can configure field attributes, decide where the fields should appear on screen, and immediately deploy the updated requisition or candidate record with the new fields displayed. Once a custom field is added to a panel it cannot be removed. You must contact your PeopleFluent representative to file a CR to have the field removed.

There are three types of custom fields for the requisition and candidate panels:

1. Custom fields that were created in the past and are not being used, but can be recycled. These fields appear under 'Available Custom Fields' on the panel. For more information see, Recycled Custom Fields.
2. These are custom fields created by the user. For more information see, User Created Custom Fields
3. Custom Fields via a script – If the customer has used all of their recycled custom fields, they can get ten additional custom fields added through a script. Customers must submit a change request to get these additional custom fields. These fields also appear under 'Available Custom Fields' on the panel.

1. Note: These ten additional custom fields are text only fields.

5. (Optional) If the field contains a domain list click Edit Domain List and make changes where necessary. For more information, see Edit a Domain List.
6. Click Commit to save all changes to the field.
7. To save all changes to the panel , click the Configure Panel icon. A confirmation message appears.
