This page was updated with version 9.1.
Two pages generally work together to make up the job posting and store 90% of the details related to the requisition. Most of the time, these sections are completed (aka mapped) during the requisition creation process. The pages called "Main" and "Job Description" within the requisition file are used to update the file as the recruiting process progresses.
Main
Main Page allows users to review/update the main requisition information as necessary. This page is highly configurable to meet the organization’s needs and is split up into three (3) tabs: General Tab, Job Info Tab, and Misc Tab. Users must be assigned to a group in security with "View Only" or "Update" access to see this page. Field titles and display may be different than listed below based on the setup in Page Builder .
General Tab
This tab holds basic information about the position such as: Recruiter, Supervisor, Status, Date fields, etc…

Job Description
The job description page stores the text details related to the job description. The headers for the tab (Job Description, Requirements, Public Job Description and Other Description) may not necessarily correspond to the usage of the tab for any specific organization. The names on the tabs are hard-coded so it is clear when mapping these fields for job postings, emails, offer letters, etc. which tab should be used.
The job description boxes include an HTML editor so it is easy to include HTML content (links, bolding, bullets, colors, etc.) for the job description. However, making changes to this page may overwrite the default values for text assigned in the website style sheets. It is recommended that content added to this page be done so using the 'Paste Text' option and then attributes changed
