Steps

From your Bullhorn Menu, select Admin > Field Mappings.

If you're using S-Release: From your Tools Menu, select Field Mappings.
Expand the entity you want to add the field to.
In the field column, type in "customText" and press Enter.
Find a custom field that is not currently in use and select the hyperlinked field name.

Fill out the fields in the section that appears, along with the options adjacent to the field name. Refer to the table below.

Field	Description
Display	The label that displays within Bullhorn.
Edit type	Select Date, Date/Time, or Time.
Required	Allows you to toggle whether this field is required to be filled in before saving the record.
Hidden	Allows you to toggle whether 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	Since this is a data entry field, you may leave this section blank.
Display List	Since this is a data entry field, you may leave this section blank.
Default Value	Since this is a data entry 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.
Field Interaction	If you'd like to add a field interaction, select add new interaction and fill out the fields on the new page that appears.
