Renaming a Field

You can rename a field in Bullhorn to better match your team’s terminology. For example, you might change "Cell Phone" to "Mobile Phone" to align with your internal naming conventions.

When you rename a field, Bullhorn updates the label everywhere that field appears in the application.

Before you Rename a Field

To avoid confusion or display issues:

  • No two fields within the same entity should share the same name.

  • A field should not have the same name as the section header directly above or below it.

  • System fields should not be renamed to replicate the name of an existing custom field (or vice versa).

Renaming a Field

  1. From your Bullhorn menu, select Admin > Field Mappings.

    • S-Release: Go to Tools > Field Mappings.

  2. Expand the entity containing the chosen field.

  3. Search for and select the field you want to rename.

  4. In the Label field, enter the new field name.

  5. Click Save.

Your updated field name will appear throughout the application. You may need to refresh your Bullhorn session to see the change.
