Adding a Free Text Field

In Field Mappings, you can find a custom field that is not currently in use and click on the hyperlinked field name to add your own name for the field and capture additional relevant information. Examples of the information you could include in this field type are social security numbers, pay ranges, and other custom import fields. If you're curious about the different types of fields you can add, navigate to About Custom Fields.

From your Bullhorn Menu, select Field Mappings.
S-Release: From your Bullhorn Menu, select Tools > Field Mappings.
Expand the desired entity.
In the field column, type in "custom" and press Enter.
Find a custom field that is not currently in use and click on the hyperlinked field name.
Fill out the field details on the pop up window, then click Save.

Field	Description
Display	The label that displays within Bullhorn.
Edit type	Text Text Block: This edit type is for customTextBlock fields only. Text Block Large: This edit type is for customTextBlock fields only. Text SSN: This edit type is for customText fields only.
Required	Allows you to toggle whether or not this field is required to be filled in before saving the record.
Hidden	Allows you to toggle whether or not this field is viewable.
Allow Multiple Values	Allows you to toggle whether the field allows users to select multiple answers/values. Some fields, such as job title or plain text fields, do not support multiple values.
Sort Order	Input the number that matches where you want this field to display on the Edit screen. Use the sort orders of other fields to help guide you. Example: If I wanted this to show above a field who's sort order 165, then I would use sort order 160. Bullhorn recommends setting your sort orders in increments of 5 (e.g., 130, 135) so you can easily insert new fields later if needed. Each sort order must be unique. Do not assign the same number to more than one field.
Value List	Because this is a free text field, you may leave this section blank.
Display List	Because this is a free text field, you may leave this section blank.
Default Value	Because this is a free text field, you may leave this section blank.
Description	Describe the field's purpose. This description will show beneath the field in smaller black text. S-Release: This text you type here will show in black above the field.
Hint	The text you type here will show within the field in light gray to give users a clue as to the field's purpose. S-Release: The text you type here will show in red below the field.
