In the field column, type in "customText" and press Enter.

Field

Description

Display

The label that displays within Bullhorn.

Edit type

  • State - Drop Down
  • State - Mini Picker
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.

We recommend keeping your sort orders 5 numbers apart (130, 135) as a best practice so if you need to add a field in the future you can easily fit it in. Sort orders must be unique so do not use the same sort order for two fields.

Value List

Because this field pulls values from a back end list of states, you may leave this field blank.
