Creating a Custom Field

Overview

You can create fields specific to your company by changing, or custom, field in Bullhorn. These are fields the application isn’t using for anything else, except Candidate Tax Info, and can be enabled within any entity in Field Mappings. For example, you could create a custom field on the contact entity to capture information such as contact type: primary, secondary, and decision maker.

To create a custom field

1. From your Bullhorn Menu, select Admin and then Field Mappings.
   • S-Release: On the Tools menu, select Field Mappings.
     
     
2. Click the expand arrow to the left of the entity containing the field you are modifying.
3. Unhide any of the following custom fields:
   
   
   • customText1-20 – Use these small text fields for virtually any purpose; however, keep in mind that they have a text string limit of 100 characters.
   • customTextBlock1-4 – Use these large text blocks only for entering a text string greater than 100 characters.
   • customDate1-3 – Use these fields for a date or date and time.
   • customFloat1-3 – Use these fields for a number or currency.
   • customInt1-3 – Use these fields for numbers.
   • sectionHeader1-3 – Use these fields to visually group fields on the Edit tab. For example, the Contact Information section header appears before the email, phone number, and address fields.
   • customEncryptedText1-10 - Use these fields for encrypted storage of sensitive information.
     • Fields that are encrypted will still be visible to your end users. Encryption is used when storing the information in these fields in your database. For more information see the article About Encrypted Fields.
   
4. Define the field attributes.
5. Click Save.
