Field

Description

Display

The label that displays within Bullhorn.

Edit type

Select the type of field you want to add.

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. Don't reuse sort order numbers, or else your new field may not display.

  • Example: If I wanted this to show above the Pay Rate and the Pay Rate is 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

Input the values you want your users to select from. Use commas to separate them, but avoid spaces around the commas.

  • Example: Tampa,Orlando,Fort Meyers,Miami

If using any of the below edit types, you will not need to fill this out since the fields will automatically pull values from the applicable internal list.

  • Country - Mini Picker
  • State - Drop Down
  • State - Mini Picker
  • Picker:Text:Candidate

Display List

Leave this field blank, unless you used alternate values for the Value List and want to associate different text to those values for users to identify their selections easier.

  • Example: If you have store numbers or location numbers for export purposes, but want your users to see the location name instead.

Default Value

Input the value from the value list you want to be the default.

Leave blank if no default is required.
