Question Selection

Highlight the question(s) which should be displayed to the Applicant/Employee in the Self Service view.  Questions do NOT have to be marked as Public in the setup of the question in order to be highlighted on this page and displayed to the Applicant in the Self Service module. 

Two types of questions can be presented to the applicant in the Self Service view.

Standard Application Questions
Standard Application Questions (with the exception of Referral Source, Desired Salary and Position Desired) cannot be included in the Online Application process; however, most of the fields which are activated on the Miscellaneous > General page of the Applicant section of Page Builder can be displayed to this page.  If a field is activated via Page Builder and displayed on the User's view of the Application, then the question can be displayed to the Applicant and an answer collected via the Self Service page.  The wording for the question is hard-coded and cannot be changed.

Referral Source and Position Desired are not fields which appear in this section of Self Service but are displayed on the Contact Information page.

Custom Application Questions 
Custom Application Questions are unique to each organization and are set up in the Page Builder > Applicant > Application Questions section.  Any question which is added into the system can be displayed in the Self Service view regardless of whether the question is marked as 'Public' in the setup of the question.
