Field Interactions

Field Interactions use a custom API to trigger a series of actions when data in a field is entered or changed. These can be used on record fields as well as Understanding Custom Objects fields.

Creating field interactions requires a developer with knowledge of Java. Contact Bullhorn Support to enable access to field interactions for your developer.

Please note that Bullhorn Support cannot build field interactions for you.

Examples of Field Interactions

The ways you can use field interactions include:

Performing simple field validations
- Example: Checking email addresses contain @ and . characters
Modifying how information is displayed
- Example: Making fields read-only for selected usertypes, or hiding fields based on values entered in other fields.
Performing custom calculations based on field data
- Example: Calculating the amounts entered in two fields and auto-populating a third field with the total.

You can find more information on field interactions in our Developer Documentation.
